After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Pacers 105-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics are in a full-on tailspin; fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
