The Pacers Post Up

Pacers Torched in Utah: Defense Collapses as Road Trip Skids to 0-3 With One Left in Phoenix


Listen Later

Brad and Ryan break down a brutal night in Salt Lake City as the Pacers surrender the most points allowed by any NBA team this season — and the fourth-most in Jazz franchise history — in a lopsided loss that showcased the Pacers worst defensive effort of the season. Indiana actually opened the game on a sharp 10–0 run and led 20–10, but from that moment on, Utah simply couldn’t miss, and the Pacers defensive effort evaporated.

A new-look starting lineup offered mixed results, with newly re-signed Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (on a hardship deal) making his first start in place of the struggling Jarace Walker, and Tony Bradley filling in for Isaiah Jackson. Offensively, there were positives — Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam were strong, the Pacers shot their best percentage of the season, and turnovers stayed in single digits — but none of it mattered with the level of defensive breakdowns that had Rick Carlisle visibly frustrated postgame.

The guys close by previewing the final stop of the road trip: a Thursday matchup with the Suns in Phoenix, where Indy will try to salvage something before heading home.
