Game 1 was not one that Indiana Pacers fans will want to remember, nor will the Boston Celtics, but at least they claimed a win on their homecourt. Indiana, unfortunately, looked a lot like the post-Victor Oladipo version of themselves.
In some ways, the game wasn’t quite as bad as it looked. A lot of Indiana’s shots rimmed out and it maybe if one or two go down early in the third quarter, they don’t force some of their shots in an effort to end the drought. That said, when you only score 74 points in a game, something is clearly wrong.
