helped the Pacers finish off a 17-point comeback with a 116-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night at Crypto.com Arena.Andrew Nembhard is a hero in his return
"I just wanted to be physical with him throughout the game," Nembhard said."Just make his looks tough. I know he's a great player, great passer. We just wanted to make him take some fadeaways and try to make him play hard, really." The Lakers' lead hit 17 points with just under 10 minutes to go in the game, but the Pacers kept whittling away. They were the aggressor down the stretch, chasing down loose balls, winning rebounds and also hitting more shots. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle noted one of those loose balls as particularly important.
"Just keep playing, man," point guard Tyrese Haliburton said."The game's never over with us. Like I've said all year, 15, 17 points is nothing in the NBA, no matter how much time is left. We knew when we got down 17 points, the push has to be now. If it's not now, it's never. Time is running out. That group that was in there, Ben, Aaron , T.J. , those guys stepped up."I'm really just so happy for the guys," Carlisle said.
