Celtics Clash with Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse

As the Boston Celtics prepare to face off against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, fans can anticipate an intense battle on the court. The Celtics have been showcasing a dominant performance throughout their recent games, and they are looking to continue their winning streak.

In their last game against the Utah Jazz, the Celtics demonstrated a strong offensive and defensive presence. They secured a convincing victory with a score of 126-97, leading for over 47 minutes of game time and achieving an impressive efficiency game score of 107.2. Their ability to convert fast breaks into points was notable, as they scored 26 fast break points at a success rate of 60 percent.

The team's three-point shooting has also been commendable; in their previous match-up against Oklahoma City Thunder, despite losing by four points (123-127), they managed to hit 38 percent from beyond the arc. This ability to shoot from distance could be crucial in unlocking the Pacers' defense.

Moreover, Boston's recent visit to San Antonio saw them overpowering Spurs with an overwhelming scoreline of 134-101. The Celtics' bench contributed significantly with 47 points, highlighting their depth and versatility as a unit.

Defensively, Boston has been equally impressive. They've consistently kept opponents under pressure by maintaining high defensive ratings across games – notably holding Spurs to just 95 points per possession while scoring at an offensive rate of over one point per possession themselves.

As we look towards this upcoming contest scheduled for January 7th at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis – which fans can watch on NBCS-BOS – it is clear that if Boston maintains its current form both offensively and defensively while capitalizing on fast-break opportunities and bench contributions, they stand a good chance of leaving Indiana with another win under their belt.
