After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics demolished the Pacers 139-108. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
