After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Pacers 125-122. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pacers. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
