Pacers Not Celebrating Series Opener Win

For the first time in this year’s playoffs, the Pacers won a series opener. And for the first time in their last three playoff battles against the Heat, the Pacers won Game 1.

”There’s nothing to celebrate. It’s not like we won a championship. It’s one game,” (George) Hill said. ”Yes, it was good, but if we come out and lay an egg on Tuesday, this game doesn’t mean anything.”

Now comes the hard part – doing it all over again Tuesday night.

”We’ve been complacent many times. We just can’t get complacent,” (Paul) George said. ”We’ve got to stay humbled off this win and come in with the same mind-set that we have to get another one.”
