After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Pacers 115-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
