Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle expressed frustration over the significant free-throw and foul differentials following his team’s close defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers in a high-scoring game (145-150).
Despite a valiant effort from the Pacers, led by Pascal Siakam’s 36-point performance, they fell short against the Lakers as dynamic duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James spearheaded their team’s victory.
Spencer Dinwiddie’s impactful contributions off the bench further bolstered the Lakers’ offensive firepower, ensuring their highest-scoring game in over three decades.
