Pacers coach Rick Carlisle snaps at reporter after team coughs up Game 3 to Celtics
NY Post
Unsurprisingly, Rick Carlisle was unhappy after his Indiana Pacers blew Game 3 to the Boston Celtics.
The Pacers head coach fired back at a reporter, not letting the question even finish after being reminded of his team squandering an eight-point lead with less than three minutes to play at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday.
“I just rewatched the ending, so you don’t need to remind me — I saw everything that happened,” Carlisle interjected. “There were a lot of things out there I disagreed with that I think any Indiana fan would disagree with.”
A reporter began to add a follow-up, but Carlisle again interrupted the question.
“Everything, everything that happened,” he said.
The Pacers led by as many as 18 points as late as the third quarter before allowing a Celtics comeback late in the game.

For seven straight starts, Clay Holmes has been unable to finish the sixth inning. His struggles to get deeper into games combined with the lack of distance from every rotation-mate besides David Peterson have put a further strain on an overworked and over-hurt Mets bullpen. David Stearns has publicly stated that the relief corps should be upgraded, which he expects to do at the trade deadline, and he has suggested that Triple-A starters could be shortened into relief help.
