Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle after the win over the New York Knicks:Â “I haven’t looked at it yet, but our positioning was good, we had very good help situations. We covered for one another and then, you know, NBA games are crazy at the end.”
“That’s okay, we’re ready for that. This was a really important game for us with the season that we’ve had, this environment, the opponent. Our guys just had a great collective spirit and collective will tonight.”
