COMMENTARY
The Celtics decimated the Pacers on Wednesday, pulling away early and never giving a centimeter en route to a 155-101 victory.
Here are the takeaways.
1. This was the Celtics’ second straight massive victory over an undermanned, mediocre opponent after they blasted the Wizards on Monday. The Pacers were without Tyrese Haliburton, which certainly played a role.
But for the second game in a row, the Celtics just looked like they were in a different league than their opponent. Jayson Tatum scored 30 points and made it look easy. Derrick White and Jrue Holiday scored 18 and 15 points respectively, and both missed just three shots.
