"We definitely let this one get away," George said. "We went through a stretch of a lot of in and out shots."
Game 2 will be Monday night in Indianapolis.
"It is huge, to go out there and get Game 1 in their place," Davis said. "Now their back's against the wall and they've got to win Game 2. We're trying to get every game we can. We're not trying to slow down. We're not trying to be complacent."
Indiana doesn't plan to fall behind 2-0.
"We need to be sharper on reads offensively and execute in crunch time," Vogel said. "I have every bit of confidence we will bounce back."
