Led by Paul George, the underdog Indiana Pacers stole Game 1 in Toronto behind his all-star performance of 33 points, 6 assists, 4 assists and 4 steals.
“That hurt more than the actual break, not getting this team to the playoffs last year,” George said. “This means a lot, it means a lot to be back here, it means a lot to be on this stage again. After shooting 2 for 9 in the first half Saturday, George shot 10 for 13 in the second, a performance Pacers coach Frank Vogel called “awesome.”
