NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from the Boston Celtics' blowout win over the Indiana Pacers

#3 Boston shot the ball to perfection along with recording 30+ assists for the game

Kyrie Irving's FG% this season is at a near-career-high mark.

The Celtics shot the life out of the visiting Pacers side, dropping a blazing 56.8% shots from the field. Their 50-of-88 showing as a collective unit against Indiana was fueled by the stars and reserves combined.

Morris and Hayward attempted and made five three-pointers between them on a night when the Celtics shot an impressive 14-of-32(43.8%) from the distance. Their opponents spent a respectable 43% shooting night from the field but it just wasn't enough.

Boston's ball-movement is what really drained the Pacers defense and led to open shots via extra passes. The team combined for 32 assists on the night, with this being their fifth straight game having 30 assists or more.

"We're all understanding that we're trying to play faster and the ball movement has been working for us," said Al Horford. "It keeps the defense on their toes, really makes the other team work. It's kind of contagious."

The aggressive mentality to share the ball is what led them into piling 68 points in the first half, one shy of their season-high of points in a halftime set.
