INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner was still filled with conflicting emotions in the aftermath of the Eastern Conference finals.
On one hand, Turner -- the longest tenured player on the team, having been drafted by Indiana in 2015 -- called this season an incredible journey. After missing the playoffs the past three seasons, the Pacers won their first playoff series in more than a decade and reached the conference finals for the first time since 2014.
But the fact the Pacers had a fourth-quarter lead in three of their four losses to the Boston Celtics still stung as players left the arena Monday night after dropping Game 4, 105-102, to complete a Boston series sweep.
