Here’s some national attention: Nate McMillan named Coach of the Month

What will a 12-3 record in December get you? The NBA’s Eastern Conference Coach of the Month award if you’re Indiana Pacers coach Nate McMillan.

The Pacers posted a pair of marquee wins against Eastern Conference opponents in December by knocking off the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers in back-to-back games. Even in the 3 losses, the Pacers kept it close with only a 5-point margin of victory between those games.

In McMillan’s typical style, he deflected the credit to the team as a whole when The Athletic’s Scott Agness asked him about it today.
