WASHINGTON - The Boston Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers 108-98 in NBA actions on Saturday.
Star guard Kyrie Irving scored 25 points and Al Horford added 21 for Boston.

"We were just being resilient as usual," Irving said. "We were able to limit our opponents and we made our push."

"For us, it's a night to learn. When you're playing at a certain level, you realize you have to take it to another level when you play a team like Boston," Pacers coach Nate McMillan said.
