On today's episode of Setting the Pace, Alex goes solo to recap the Pacers 125-120 loss to the Miami Heat. Pascal Siakam was sensational with 36 points. Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton also played solid games, Andrew Nembhard looked much better than he had in the previous 4 games and the Pacers fell short thanks to some rough stretches in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. In addition to the game recap, Alex touches on the loss of Benn Mathurin to a handful of nagging injuries, what the Pacers can do without his scoring and how his absence shifts the dynamic of the team.
