Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle after their loss to the Milwaukee Bucks: "They did a good job of packing the paint. I'd have to look at the whole thing. We were really much more focused on trying to keep our paint clogged up with Giannis and at times, we had good stretches, other times, the guy's just incredible at what he can do? There were some very good stretches, particularly in the first for us to look at and there are some things we got to clean up."
