1. While the Boston Celtics had some defensive issues in their win over the Indiana Pacers, it was good to see the offense continue to roll. And it was especially good to see some outstanding offensive execution late in the game.
The late-game issues seemed to crop back up against Miami, which was concerning. As several members of the team called out, that was essentially a playoff game. While Indiana isn’t a playoff team, they are playing free and easy with nothing to lose. The Celtics executing well against them was a good sign that the improvements made over the last few months weren’t all for naught.
