Lance Stephenson has said that the Indiana Pacers' "play-hard" approach has helped the team make an unbeaten start to the 2013-14 NBA season.
The Pacers top their conference following a 97-80 win over the Chicago Bulls, having won all five games so far this season, while every other Eastern team has at least two defeats.
The guard told reporters: "We just play hard. We feel like that we going to bring it every night on the defensive end, offensive end and we going to find a way to get that 'W,' and we did that tonight."
Donald Sloan added: "They brought all of us in to make the bench a little deeper than it was last year, and I think the guys on the bench know their role. So it just fits."
The Pacers face the Toronto Raptors tomorrow.
