The victory left the Celtics and Chicago Bulls (48-18) with the same record in the race for home-court advantage through the conference finals. Boston had lost three of four to fall out of the top spot, including a defeat to the non-contending New Jersey Nets on Monday night. "I think they're motivated every night, particularly after a tough loss," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "Chicago taking over the top spot in the East, [the Celtics] knew they needed this game and they brought their 'A' effort. It was too much for us."
