After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Pacers 97-88. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
