INDIANAPOLIS — Coach Rick Carlisle expects the Indiana Pacers to punch back Monday night. Yes, he realizes no NBA team has rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. And, of course, his players understand a Game 4 victory assures them of nothing more than another trip to Boston for yet another elimination game. Yet Carlisle believes his players are ready to fight back. And the Celtics, who trailed 3-0 in last year's Eastern Conference finals before losing in seven games, expect nothing less from the surprising Pacers.
