THE FACTS: The Boston Celtics bounced back from a slow offensive start and dominated the Indiana Pacers for the final three quarters, cruising to a 94-75 win at the TD Garden. Rajon Rondo scored a team-high 18 points in the victory, as the Celtics snapped a four-game losing streak, largely thanks to their stifling defense. The hosts played a physical brand of basketball as they limited the Pacers to a paltry 31.8 percent from the field. Tyler Hansbrough had a game-high 19 points off the bench for the visitors who dropped just their third contest over the past 12 games. Kevin Garnett also scored 18 points for the victors, but was ejected in the fourth quarter after being assessed a flagrant two for hitting Hansbrough in the face while trying to knock the ball away.
