Ranking Pacers' worst gaffes in Game 1 collapse vs. Celtics

Ranking Pacers' worst gaffes in Game 1 collapse vs. Celtics

The Indiana Pacers basically had the game won when they secured a defensive rebound with around 12 seconds left in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Finals matchup against the Boston Celtics. The Pacers were up by three, 117-114, and had possession with less than 10 seconds remaining in regulation. Alas, the Pacers threw it all away. Instead of going up 1-0 in the series and cementing themselves as a legitimate threat to a Celtics team that has had a cakewalk of a postseason run to this point, the Pacers find themselves on the losing end after suffering a 133-128 defeat in overtime.
