Celtics ‘man up,’ play connected in blowout win over Pacers
With 6:08 remaining in the third quarter of Friday’s game, Al Horford sank a pair of free throws to put the Boston Celtics up 30 points over the visiting Indiana Pacers, 87-57. That’s right, the Pacers had just 57 points through two-and-half quarters and only wound up with only 105 at the end of the night.
Boston entered the matchup after two straight days of non-stop criticism. They dropped a very winnable game on Christmas Day, falling 118-114 to the “rival” Philadelphia 76ers. It was a day where many felt that lapses in focus and intensity served as the Achilles heal for the Cs, including Jayson Tatum.
