“At the beginning of the game I thought we did a really good job defensively, the turnover was really good, we forced them into tough shots, we did a really good job in the first quarter. In the first half and the whole game in general … it was their 37 second-chance points, and all the offensive rebounds they got, they turned them over, so they shot a high percentage.”

RAJAKOVIC OCHAI AGBAJI ON WHAT TO WORK THIS SUMMER:

“I want him to focus a lot on defense this summer. He's really got to embrace that role, to be the defensive stopper of our team to really own possession on the defensive side of the ball, to protect everybody four-by-four, one-to-five. He has demonstrated the ability to do so. But then it has to go to another level. And then I think if we're going to insult it, it should be very simple: “You've got an open shot, shoot it, really good drive.”

“Then teams have less to take by using more walk-and-hold instead of catch-and-go, hitting the offensive glass, setting random picks, rolling, and shortening the way they play offensively. and movements and all that.”

RAJAKOVIC ON TRAINING JAVON FREEMAN TO BE A COURAGEOUS POINT GUARD:

“It's not easy because it's a long way, you have to learn how to manage your team, how to attack, how to communicate with your teammates. It's a long process, but she's showing really good signs of being willing to open up, be vulnerable, learn, fail, and grow in the process. I think it's just a lot of questions, a lot of repetition. He's got an amazing summer ahead of him, a great opportunity, another summer of league opportunities. So this will be a good opportunity for him to make that next leap.”

ABOUT THE FREEMAN-LIBERTY CORRECTION:

“It's definitely a process, maybe a long process. Just coming out of college with a scorer and scorer mentality, but I think it's going to be a big challenge and I'm ready to take on the challenge and do my best.

“I've always had the desire to pass, to get my teammates involved. I never wanted to be a top scorer, that's what happened. I always want to get my teammates involved.”

PACERS COACH RICK CARLISLE PASCAL SIAKAM:

“He embraced Indiana as a place to play, and the fans embraced him.”

SIAKAM ON IF PLAYING IN TORONTO WAS SOMETHING EXTRA:

“I don't think it means anything anymore. It seems to me that things are moving differently. I have moved on.'
