Pacers HC Rick Carlisle’s honest reaction to stunning Warriors for first 2025-26 win

Rick Carlisle expressed immense relief after the Indiana Pacers stunned the Golden State Warriors 114-109 on Saturday night. Entering the matchup, Indiana held an 0-5 record and had been plagued by multiple injuries to their core players, with star guard Tyrese Haliburton already sidelined for the entire season. Despite these challenges, the Pacers refused to roll over against the Warriors.

Trailing for most of the game, the Pacers mounted a fierce comeback in the fourth quarter, completing a rally to secure the home victory. Reflecting on the win, Carlisle, as reported by Tyler Smith, summed up his feelings succinctly: “It feels good to win one.”

### How Rick Carlisle and the Pacers Performed Against the Warriors

Rick Carlisle is thrilled to finally put an end to the Pacers’ winless streak to start the season. Pulling off a win against a healthy Warriors squad made the triumph even sweeter.

Golden State maintained the upper hand throughout the first three quarters, leading 88-82 going into the fourth. However, the Pacers woke up in the final period, outscoring the visitors 32-21 in the last 12 minutes of the game.

Free throws and turnovers proved decisive in this matchup. Indiana excelled in both areas, converting 24 of 28 attempts at the line while limiting turnovers to 12. Meanwhile, the Warriors made 19 of 24 free throws but committed 16 turnovers, which contributed to their downfall.

Four Pacers players scored in double figures. Aaron Nesmith led the charge with an impressive stat line of 31 points, six rebounds, and one assist. He shot 10-of-19 from the field, including 5-of-11 from beyond the arc, and was perfect from the free-throw line at 6-of-6.

Pascal Siakam added 27 points and five rebounds, Quenton Jackson contributed 25 points and 10 assists, and Isaiah Jackson chipped in with 10 points and eight rebounds.

### Looking Ahead

The Pacers will look to build on this momentum as they remain at home for their next matchup. Indiana is set to host the Milwaukee Bucks on November 3 at 7 p.m. ET. Fans will be eager to see if the team can continue their winning ways.
