Rick Carlisle Opens Up About Loss to Lakers, Injury Report, and More
The Indiana Pacers suffered a tough 120-119 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers, falling short despite strong performances from Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and Bennedict Mathurin.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle took some responsibility for the loss, acknowledging that he should have called a timeout in the final moments when LeBron James tipped in the ball for the win.
Fortunately, the loss hasn’t significantly impacted Indiana’s position, as they remain in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games ahead of the rising Detroit Pistons.
Looking ahead to the postseason, the Pacers have achieved a rare accomplishment before their game against the Washington Wizards: a completely clean injury report. This contrasts with the Wizards, who are dealing with numerous key player absences.
