• PACERS Inside the Game: Pacers vs. Clippers
  "I’m very proud of our team playing a game with a lot of adversity around it. We played with a lot of force at the defensive end. Troy (Murphy) did a good job defensively and hit two huge threes down the stretch. Luther (Head) coming off the bench was great. ... There’s a lot of praise to go around. I thought we played with a tremendous amount of composure at both ends of the court (down the stretch)." -- Coach Jim O'Brien.
