After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Pacers 126-116. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. 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.
