Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle on the win against the OKC Thunder: "It's heartwarming to get a result like this. You know, they've got some guys out, we've got some guys out. We were still an enormous underog in this game. We just have competitive grit."

"I thought the game-plan that our defensive, [assistant coaches Jim Boylen and Jenny Boucek], put together was really solid and it was based on discipline and physicality and trying to keep these guys off the free throw line. So, you know, they still shot 30 free throws, but last game, Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] shot 26. So, we did a lot better there. A lot of guys played great. Obviously, [Jarace] Walker, this is an enormous moment in his young career and he just showed all the things that he can do out there."
