    Then, they zoom out to the bigger picture.

    How long is the championship window for the Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam era? Are the Pacers on the clock, or is there still runway to build this thing the right way?

    Mike Facci is joined by Derek Kramer of iPacers to break down an electric night from Andrew Nembhard, who dished out a career-high 19 assists against a star-studded Lakers team led by Luka Dončić and LeBron James.

    The Pacers found themselves in a massive hole early, but battled back in impressive fashion — cutting the deficit to just six and giving themselves a real shot at a stunning comeback.

    Facci and Derek discuss:

    • Nembhard’s incredible playmaking performance
    • How Indiana nearly flipped the game late
    • What fueled the comeback effort
    • And what ultimately fell short

    A near miracle, a breakout performance, and plenty to unpack from a wild night in LA.
