A four-game homestand proved to be exactly the what the doctor ordered for the Boston Celtics after an uneven Western Conference road trip, as they quieted the red-hot Indiana Pacers with a dominant 135-108 victory in their best offensive performance of the year. For the Celtics, Marcus Morris compiled 22 points and 8 rebounds, Jayson Tatum added 20 points on a team-high 15 shot attempts, and Jaylen Brown contributed on both ends with 22 points, 7 rebounds, a steal, and a block.
The Celtics and Pacers are teams who figure to be keeping a very close eye on one another this year, as they both hold aspirations of a deep run through the Eastern Conference playoffs.
