Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle addresses recent wins and upcoming Kings game: "Getting back on defense was a big part of it. We did well in both games. We did good things offensively that helped our defense as well. Sacramento has got two Hall-of-Famers on their team, you know, DeRozan and Westbrook. They got Monk coming off the bench who's explosive. They got LaVine who's been an All-Star, who got 42 points last night, they smashed Miami last night. They got Murray, they got a bunch of guys. This guy Raynaud is a very good young big who's very skilled." ... "It's a big challenge."
