WIth 50 seconds left in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics, the Indiana Pacers were winning. Then, they lost. That’s a very anticlimactic way to explain the end of that game, but that is what happened, and it emphasizes how close the Pacers were to stealing a game in Boston.
They didn’t, though, and there is no such thing as moral victories in the postseason. You win or you go home. The game is a loss at face value and underneath since the end of the season is so close.
But the Pacers played better than they did in Game 1, which IS a big deal to me.
