Following a chaotic, but close loss, the Indiana Pacers have the attention of oddsmakers in their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Boston Celtics.
Indiana, who was a 10-point underdog in the team’s 133-128 Game 1 loss in overtime, opened as nine-point underdog in Game 2. The Pacers nearly pulled a massive upset in the opening game, leading by three with the ball in the last 10 seconds, but the Celtics late rally kept home court advantage.
The Pacers are still a big underdog in Game 2 in Boston on Thursday, but oddsmakers are adjusting expectations and giving Indiana credit for the road loss.
