Myles Turner on Game 1 loss vs. Boston: 'We showed our age a little bit'
Reporter: “Turnovers and the fouls, do you almost feel like you guys beat yourselves tonight more than anything?” Myles 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.”

Last night, the @Pacers Tyrese Haliburton (25p/10a), Pascal Siakam (24p/12r), and Myles Turner (23p/10r) became just the fourth trio in NBA history to each record a 20-point double-double in the same conference finals game.

After 3: Celtics 94, Pacers 93
Tyrese Haliburton, thanks to a lot of English and a friendly bounce, banks in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to make it a one-point game after a wild third quarter.
Jayson Tatum has 22-8-4 for Boston

Celtics did the same thing Knicks did — treat Pascal Siakam like the center and have their center (Horford) guard him. That way they can defend Myles Turner outside better, or at least make Turner play inside the arc against a more mobile defender – 9:30 PM

Tremendous response here from Indiana, which took a haymaker in the opening couple minutes and responded with force.
Pacers are shooting 58 percent overall and 53 from 3, led by 18 points from Myles Turner. – 9:08 PM

Boston might need to play small during these non Al Horford minutes. These Luke Kornet on Myles Turner minutes are … not great. – 9:00 PM

18 points for Myles Turner after Celtics have a mediocre backside rotation off the double team. Turner upfaked Jaylen Brown out of the play then buried an open 3. He has been doing it all tonight and keeping Indy in it. – 8:59 PM

More on this storyline
Myles Turner on Pascal Siakam’s future: He’s a free agent this summer. We’re hoping that he signs back in Indiana. He’s someone that we’d love to have who can really help us going forward. I think it was a great move for us to get him. Kevin Pritchard was very adamant about trying to add more length, and he was able to get it done with a special player. I’ve really enjoyed playing with him in the frontcourt together. He’s someone who’s also going to help my game. He commands so much attention that I’m able to get loose for my threes. -via HoopsHype / May 21, 2024
Myles Turner on future goals individually and as a team player: Individually, you want to get that first All-Star birth. You want to finally get some All-Defensive recognition and be able to be the guy that gets these types of humanitarian awards for the work you do in the community and have stuff like that recognized. As far as a team goal, the goal is to win a championship. There’s no other way to put that. When we started talking about this at the beginning of the year, it was far-fetched to a lot of people to try to make this run to the Finals. Now, it seems more real. -via HoopsHype / May 21, 2024
Myles Turner on Tyrese Haliburton: He’s definitely helped transcend my career, to say the least. I think the biggest thing with Tyrese is that he wants to pass more than he wants to score. When you think of a point guard, you’d think that would be the epitome of that, but in a league where scoring is paramount, it’s a rarity when you have guys like Tyrese who embrace that role of coming in and being a creator but can also step up when you need him. I think the sky’s the limit for him. The past two or three years since he’s been here, his ascension has been incredible. He’s been able to really help a franchise that was at its lowest and take it to new heights. When it comes to the debate of the best point guards, obviously I’m biased, but if you really sit there and break down his game and look at the numbers, he’s leading a historical offense. We’re one of the best offenses in NBA history. We just set a crazy percentage shooting from the field in Game 7. He’s leading all of that, and it’s not by accident. I think Tyrese is very special. He’s someone who can create not only for himself but for others. It’s really helped bring out the best in me. -via HoopsHype / May 21, 2024
