Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle on his 1000th career win: "This has never been about me getting a milestone win," Carlisle said. "It's about our organization and our franchise. As it has gotten tougher and tougher I have leaned into thinking more about gratitude for the things that we have. We have great people and we have terrific players."

“I’m so happy for our players,” said Carlisle. “The last month has been so challenging in so many ways. We have an amazing group of guys who continue to fight through thick and thin.”
