Pacers Playbook: I dove into the latest creative end-of-game play from Carlisle and his staff that gave Bennedict Mathurin a chance to tie with 10 seconds left, the similarities to the famous flag football play, the second option that wasn’t needed, & how defenses may adjust to these types of plays:

Had a few people tell me this is just the same flag football play the Pacers have run on many occasions over the last couple of years and while there are similarities & a desire to get the same shot, it’s got a ton of differences to that original. All discussed in the article. 👇

4 bench guys in double figures tonight
Jarace 21
TJ 16
Huff 11
JRE 10

Benn and Drew both struggled to make shots in this one as they went a combined 7 for 27.
November 25, 2025 at 2:52 AM
2-15. Tough one, first half was just really bad, too much to overcome. Good to see the fight in the second half that has been missing in some of these other losses recently.

Great to see Jarace Walker play well tonight.
November 25, 2025 at 2:46 AM
Great play design gets Benn Mathurin a great look at a 3 but it’s off

No call on the rebound and Pistons get the ball up 3 with 8.2 seconds left.
November 25, 2025 at 2:43 AM
Football play?
November 25, 2025 at 2:39 AM
JARACE WALKER 5 for 5 from dee
November 25, 2025 at 2:27 AM
God bless TJ McConnell

Pacers down 13 at the end of third. Signs of life for awhile there as they cut the lead to 5 but couldn’t finish the quarter.

At least they earned free cheese curds. #YesCurds
November 25, 2025 at 2:07 AM
JRE with a couple buckets inside after Drew and TJ make terrific passes to find him. Pacers now down just 7 with 3 mins left in the third.
November 25, 2025 at 1:56 AM
Jarace Walker 5 for 5 now with 13 points. Really good to see him play well offensively.
November 25, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Fantastic block by Pascal Siakam and the Pacers are now in the bonus after the foul on Cade on other end.

Pacers cut the lead to 10 after Pascal goes 1 for 2.
November 25, 2025 at 1:45 AM
Pacers down at halftime 70-55 plus whatever free throws Duren makes.

Pistons shooting 58% from the floor, 16 FTs in the second quarter.
November 25, 2025 at 1:17 AM
Some of these calls tonight are wild
November 25, 2025 at 1:10 AM
Pistons are 22/33 (66.7%) overall and 6 of 10 from deep.
Every time Pistons do miss, they are getting a whistle. Clear landing zone foul from Pascal on that one.

57-48 Pacers trail with free throws coming on a flagrant foul

Andrew Nembhard perfectly pulls the chair on Cade but gets called for a foul
November 25, 2025 at 12:50 AM
Both of those fouls at the rim felt like challengeable calls. Cade pushed off with his arm that wasn’t shooting and Matthews didn’t seem to touch Jenkins.

Pistons get FTs instead and Huff goes out with 3 fouls.
November 25, 2025 at 12:44 AM
Pacers down 35-32 after the first quarter.

Plenty of positives but stops have been hard to come by with Pistons shooting 63%.

Jarace Walker briefly gave the Pacers the lead on a pick six that he nearly fumbled before finishing the play.

Siakam with 7. TJ and Huff with 6.
November 25, 2025 at 12:37 AM
Pacers only down 20-23 despite Pistons making 66% of their field goals.

“Johnnys situation is getting better. He’s starting to do more activity on the floor. I would think in the next couple of weeks sometime he could be back,” Carlisle says of Furphy when I asked.
