Alex Golden is joined by Derek Kramer form iPacers.com to discuss the Pacers loss to the Grizzlies and how they were completely crushed from the 2nd quarter on. Why Tyrese Haliburton road woes continue; why Myles Turner played way too small for his size; how Pascal Siakam had a forgettable game and Mathurin's up and down play of late and what the Pacers will do starting lineup wise once everyone is healthy.

Why Toppin had a great start to the game but wasn't able to continue his great play; why McConnell was solid once again; thoughts on Nembhard playing well in limited minutes; is Quenton Jackson starting to look like a 2-way guy; should the Pacers trade for a true backup center; why the Pacers should not fire Rick Carlisle and drafting pizza toppings to make a pizza!

Alex Golden and Mike Facci discuss the Pacers 115-103 victory over the Washington Wizards. Strong defense in the final 18 minutes of the game helped lift Indiana to a win, but it was the key play of Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam in the 2nd half who helped Indiana pull away. Moses Brown shined bright in the first quarter and gave the Pacers the lift they needed. It wasn't the prettiest game, but the Pacers get a much needed win. The guys end the show with player awards and discuss Turner's Block chanting "Brogdon Sucks".
