November 2nd - In an NBA regular season game, the Pacers defeated the Warriors 114-109. After the game, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle gave an interview.
Regarding Pascal Siakam's performance in this game, Carlisle said: "We almost can't take Siakam off the court; we need him on the court."
"Pascal Siakam is a great player, a very special player, and he's severely underrated. Right now, we almost can't take him off the court: he's too important to us. But tonight, even when he rested, we still played well. The challenge is that we need him to stay on the court and contribute everything, but we can't let him get completely tired. The season is too long, and this part of the schedule is too packed."
In this game, Pacers player Pascal Siakam scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block, shooting 12-for-23 from the field and 1-for-5 from three-point range.
With this victory, the Pacers secured their first win of the new season. The Pacers' next opponent is the Bucks.
