Sloppy play down the stretch doomed Indiana in Game 1.
their wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks focused much more on the failings of their more high-profile opponents than on whether Indiana was capable of making a deep run. So when the Pacers took the lead late in the fourth quarter in Game 1 of the conference finals against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, it looked like it might finally be time to start talking about whether this was a team with legitimate title aspirations.
After such a disheartening conclusion to regulation, it’s perhaps not a surprise that the Pacers played terribly in the overtime period. They hit just two of their eight field goal attempts and turned the ball over three times—including twice on back-to-back possessions in the final minute. The Celtics went on to win, 133–128.. “With 10 seconds in regulation, we should’ve just taken the timeout, advanced the ball, found a way to get it in, made a free throw or two, and ended the game.
