QUOTABLE

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac after their win over the Wizards: "Stops and rebounds. [Jalen Slawson], Larry [Nance Jr.], they came in, didn't play the whole game, came in, brought the energy. It's tough sitting for three quarters and staying ready but the guys were ready, they brought it, other guys on the court as well. We got stops, we rebounded, we got out and that was big time for us, one of the reasons we won the game."
