What went wrong in the Boston Celtics’ recent loss to the Indiana Pacers? Given the clear desire from the Celtics to compete in the NBA’s new in-season tournament as was on display in the Celtics’ brutal beatdown of the Chicago Bulls, one would think an even greater level of focus and intensity would have been brought to bear against the Pacers in the quarterfinals.
