After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Pacers 134-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
