After Action Report

The Celtics buried the Pacers 115-93. Celtics torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
