Quotes
“The Pacers aren’t sneaking up on anybody," Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said recently about his side's defensive issues.
"And if our mindset has shifted to just simply trying to outscore teams and away from any kind of emphasis defensively, that’s got to stop.
“If it means massive lineup changes, then that’s what will happen. If it means playing a slowdown game, that’s what will happen. At some point, there aren’t any excuses.”
