Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner believes that the group’s youth showed during Tuesday’s 133-128 Eastern Conference Final Game 1 overtime road loss vs. the Boston Celtics.
(via Indiana Pacers):
Reporter: “Turnovers and the fouls, do you almost feel like you guys beat yourselves tonight more than anything?”
Turner: “Yeah, that was my message after the game. I think that a lot of people are going to talk about the free throw discrepancy, but at the end of the day, when you have 22 turnovers and big time turnovers… I really think we showed our age a little bit tonight. Being a youthful team being at this high stake of a game, I think those uncharacteristic mistakes just made their way out. We go over, look at it tomorrow, we’re just going to have to get right back going because we’re right back on Thursday.”
