After Action Report

The Pacers buried the Celtics 110-85. Pacers torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
