Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle: "Get everybody better. We're working with all our players, even our older, veteran players. Improving their game, improving their defense, improving their body mechanics, offensively, defensively, things in the weight room. Younger guys have gotten an opportunity to play more all season long because of the wide range of injuries and stuff like that and we've seen tremendous improvement."
