The Indiana Pacers won a big game against the Suns on Thursday night. Coach Rick Carlisle says his team has its edge back.
The Indiana Pacers were able to get a big win over the Suns on Thursday night, 120-111. It was a game that showed them actually playing some solid defense. They forced Phoenix into 16 turnovers while just committing nine of them themselves. Indiana has now won four of their last five games.
Things have changed over the last couple of weeks. It's clear that this team has benefitted from some time off during the NBA Cup games. While the Pacers made the NBA Cup Finals a year ago, they did not make the elimination round this season. Because of that, they've had more time to practice. Carlisle knows that this team's edge is when they play solid, full-court defense. The Pacers didn't shoot it particularly well in this game, only shooting 43% from the field. Indiana shot just 39% from three. Yet, they were able to win this game because of solid defense.
