In case anybody was feeling confident, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals made it clear that any path to the NBA Finals would not be easy for these Boston Celtics. Facing the sixth-seeded Indiana Pacers, the Celtics looked off-balance all night long against an Indiana offense that flew up and down the court and cracked the ironclad Boston defense in the process. The Celtics kept pace with Indiana’s torrid scoring, however, and a miraculous sequence resulted in a game-tying three-pointer from Jaylen Brown with five seconds left in regulation, setting Boston up to escape with an overtime win, 133-128.
