Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle on upcoming road trip: “These are all tough games. You’re a long way from home and the Clippers are on a real tear, playing great. They’ve come back from the abyss, you know, with a bad start. Very motivated team. [Kawhi] Leonard’s playing great, [Bennedict Mathurin] is playing extremely well for them. They’ve got [Darius] Garland playing now and they got a lot of other weapons, so, you know, that’s a tough game.”
