Fans poked fun at the Pacers complete inability to close out games even when they led going into the final minutes of three games in this series.
all indiana has to do is convince the nba to make games 45 minutes instead of 48 minutes and all their problems are solved

Fans mocked the Pacers for constantly capitulating under pressure.
Nah bruh…. Pacers are truly the dumbest team I ever seen in my life

Bill Simmons praised Andrew Nembhard for his contributions on Indiana’s behalf.
Great game. I really respect the Pacers. They just keep coming and coming. Nembhard has been unbelievable – major 2022 Brunson vibes.

The Celtics deserve their respect for being able to fight through at the end of games to pull off the comebacks that they did.
Plenty of Celtics fans were worried about being able to win close games.
Wasn’t pretty, but this Celtics team had four guys all capable of taking and making the final shot — and may add Porzingis. https://t.co/yOX9ZOTvIl

Fans felt bad for the Pacers falling apart in late-game situations throughout this series.
Getting swept when you were 3 plays away from being up 3-1 gotta be sick

The Celtics starting five carried the team to a great performance. Jaylen Brown led the team in scoring with 29 points and was named the Eastern Conference Finals MVP during the trophy ceremony. Jayson Tatum had an all-around game with 26 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Derrick White put up 16 points and five steals while Jrue Holiday had 17 points and nine rebounds.
The Pacers performed admirably without Tyrese Haliburton, with stand-in Andrew Nembhard going off for 24 points and 10 assists. Pascal Siakam had 19 points and 10 rebounds while T.J. McConnell had 15 points off the bench. Ultimately, they just didn’t have the talent or coaching expertise required to overcome a team as dominant as the Celtics.
