Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton breaks silence on Rick Carlisle's end-game decision vs. Lakers



The Indiana Pacers, after trailing for most of their Wednesday night contest against the Los Angeles Lakers, came back from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter — with their comeback taking place with Tyrese Haliburton still sitting on the bench. With momentum squarely in the Pacers' side, head coach Rick Carlisle waited until there was only 4:05 left in the fourth period to bring Haliburton back into the game, which may have cost them in their 120-119 loss to the Lakers courtesy of a LeBron James game-winning tip-in.

Can the Hornets pull off a season sweep of Indiana? The ESPN BPI says chances are slim



The Charlotte Hornets will link up with the Indiana Pacers for the final time this season and surprisingly, Charlotte will be looking to complete the three-game series sweep. According to the ESPN Basketball Power Index (BPI), the Hornets have just a 14% chance to pull off the upset, while the Pacers have an 86% chance to pick up their 45th win of the season. The Pacers could be without Bennedict Mathurin and Myles Turner tonight, who are both listed as questionable. Seeing that their status is up in the air, I do find it a little shocking the Hornets aren't getting a little more love from the computers here even with this being on the road and having their own injury issues.
