After Action Report

The Celtics buried the Pacers 125-99. Celtics torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
