Rick Carlisle Drops Surprising Praise for Pascal Siakam’s Game-Changing Friday Night Performance
The Indiana Pacers wanted more from Pascal Siakam on Friday night, and that is exactly what they got.
Siakam got started early and was a huge help all night, scoring a career-high 39 points and helping his team take a massive 2-0 series lead over the New York Knicks.
Following the game, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle spoke about Siakam, what he brought to the game, and how impressive his “quiet” 39 points were.
“He was the guy that got us going and got us through some difficult stretches,” Carlisle said. “It’s hard to score that number of points in a game like this where you always have a physical matchup defensively and there’s a guy crashing and flying at the basket. But he did a phenomenal job. It’s a quiet 39 points. It really was.”
