Rick Carlisle wasn’t pleased with his starters, who went down 21-4 in the first quarter to the Houston Rockets. The U.S. Presidential Debate was happening at the same time, and while Carlisle didn’t watch it (as he was coaching a game), he made a safe assumption about what happened and made this analogy after the game.
