After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Pacers 129-99. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. 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 · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
