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.
