Carlisle still disgusted by the final play: "It's a football-caliber collision and it's clearly a foul. We would've been shooting two FTs with 3.5 seconds left. I'm at a loss for what was being looked at.
"And then you ask, and the response is ... shocking."
P.J. Washington left the door ajar for Pacers by missing two FTs, but they threw away the inbound. Carlisle and Siakam not happy, thought it was a foul.
Mavs win 125-122 behind 43-10-6 from Flagg and 35pts from Irving. IND struggled getting stops + not fouling
