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.
Just when it appeared that the Rangers might — might — have been gaining at least a smidgen of traction, they lost not only a 3-0 first-period lead, they lost not only a 4-3 third-period lead, they lost not only a 5-4 overtime game to Dallas at the Garden on Monday, but they also lost their tenuous foothold.
