The Indiana Pacers coach was visibly upset following his team's latest defeat to the Celtics.
Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle had no desire to get into specifics about the ending of Game 3’s 114—111 loss to the Boston Celtics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday night.
The Pacers led by as many as 18 points and were up by eight with two-and-a-half minutes remaining in the game, but they saw the Celtics steal Game 3 — literally.from Pacers’ Andrew Nembhard during the final seconds when Indiana was down by one and secured the closeout victory on the heels of Boston’s 13-2 game-ending run.
Carlisle didn’t want to discuss how those final two minutes and change played out and tersely interrupted a reporter during a barbed postgame press conference.“I just watched the ending so you don’t need to remind me,” Carlisle said. “I saw everything that happened. Everything.”Rick Carlisle: “I just watched the ending so you don't need to remind me. I saw everything that happened. Everything.
“We got the best fans in the NBA here, we’ve got the greatest basketball building on the planet, and we’ve got another game in front of to go after these guys,” Carlisle said. “And believe me when I tell you we are going after them.”
