After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Pacers 105-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
