Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle sees many similarities between his team and the Orlando Magic in terms of defensive philosophy.
(via Indiana Pacers):
“Our system is no different than Orlando’s. Orlando’s the number one defensive team in the league. They have a lot of toughness on that team and they’ve got a lot of guys that are defense minded guys first, that’s why they’re number one in the league on defense. And they have good coaching and all that, but it’s the same system and we just have to make a choice that doing things the hard way is the right way and best way and the only way.”
