What’s a team to do after blowing double-digit leads in back-to-back playoff games?
“Just got to go back, regroup, and watch film,’’ said Indiana Pacers shooting guard Tyreke Evans. “We got to get ready for these two home games.’’
The fifth-seeded Pacers will return to Bankers Life Fieldhouse empty-handed, after squandering an 11-point, fourth-quarter advantage in Game 2 of their first-round series against the Celtics. Indiana totaled a mere 12 points on 4-for-17 shooting in the final 12 minutes of Wednesday night’s contest — a bleak stretch that was reminiscent of the 2-for-19 performance that derailed the team in the third quarter of Game 1 just two nights prior.
