Siakam opens up about the Pacers’ elimination from the NBA: “Heartbreaking”

Indiana Pacers star believes that the franchise’s surprising campaign will serve as a learning experience for the young squad; Celtics advance to finals

This past Monday, the 27th, the surprising campaign of Indiana Pacers ended after the elimination of the Indianapolis franchise for the Boston Celtics in the finals of Eastern Conference from the NBA. The team lost the fourth game and was ‘swept’ in the regional decision, even though they had a nine point lead in the last quarter. For the power forward Pascal Siakamthe learning will last longer than an immediate disappointment.

“I guarantee that we will learn from this experience and we will come back here, but there are no guarantees. I know how difficult it is to reach a conference final, so it’s sad to lose so close to the title. You want to give credit to the other team because they took advantage of our mistakes. They played very well. But at the same time, it’s too hard. It’s one of those heartbreaking defeats.”said the Cameroonian star.

“This trajectory will encourage us to work to continue improving. We need to improve, after all, if we want to compete with these teams. It’s hard to understand that no matter how well we performed, we weren’t good enough. I am very grateful, anyway, for everything that has happened in my life since I arrived in Indiana.”added Siakam.
