Alright, so, I think I tweeted this early in the second half of the Boston Celtics' 135-132 loss to the Indiana Pacers.

At the time, it was accurate. The reigning champs looked pretty disinterested. They weren’t working the ball around on offense, they were getting killed in transition, and were getting ROUTED by the Pacers.
Boston was down by as much as 24 in the second half and 21 in the fourth quarter.
