SportyTV | NBA: Carlisle finally gets 1,000th win as Pacers snap 13-game skid

Pascal Siakam scored 30 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and made a driving layup with 11.5 seconds left to lift Indiana to a 114-112 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night that snapped the Pacers' 13-game skid and finally gave coach Rick Carlisle his 1,000th career win.

Carlisle had been stuck on 999 victories since his injury-depleted team beat Sacramento on Dec. 8. He improved to 1,000-891 in 24 seasons as an NBA coach.

T.J. McConnell added 23 points and eight assists, and Aaron Nesmith chipped in 16 points.

LaMelo Ball made seven 3-pointers and had 33 points and eight assists off the bench to lead the Hornets, who lost a heartbreaker at home for the second straight night.

After Siakam scored to put the Pacers in front, McConnell stole the ensuing inbounds pass. Ben Sheppard made one of two free throws, giving the Hornets the ball with 8 seconds left and a chance to tie or win.

However, the play broke down, Collin Sexton's jump shot hit the front rim and the Hornets were unable to corral the rebound.

"Tonight's no regular win...we're celebrating you."

Randle helps Wolves hold off Cavs

Julius Randle had 28 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists to help the Minnesota Timberwolves hang on to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 131-122 for their fourth consecutive victory.

Anthony Edwards added 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds while becoming the third-youngest player in NBA history to reach 10,000 career points, following LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Edwards, who is 24 years and 156 days old, hit the five-digit mark with a 13-foot fadeaway jumper midway through the fourth quarter. Only seven players have ever hit the five-digit mark before 25.

Randle scored 13 points in the third quarter as the Timberwolves built a 20-point lead while outscoring the Cavaliers 43-22 to match the team's season high for points in any period. Jaden McDaniels had 26 points on 11-for-14 shooting, and Donte DiVincenzo went 6 for 10 from 3-point range to finish with 22 points as Minnesota fended off a late Cavaliers surge.
