Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/PACE and use code PACE and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup!The Indiana Pacers' trip to Mexico City ends in disappointment as they fall 114-102 to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, and Alex Golden is flying solo on today's episode of Setting The Pace to break it all down!A TALE OF TWO HALVES!Indiana struggled mightily in the opening half, failing to generate consistent offense, knock down shots or match the level of intensity needed to compete against a talented Denver team.The Pacers dug themselves into a hole, and despite showing more fight after halftime, the damage had already been done.Alex breaks down the differences between the two halves, what changed for Indiana and why the team's improved effort wasn't enough to overcome its early struggles.WHERE WAS THE OFFENSE?!The Pacers had trouble finding any sort of offensive rhythm, and their inability to consistently make shots made life even more difficult.Alex discusses the team's shooting struggles, the lack of offensive production and why Indiana couldn't put together enough successful possessions to keep pace with Denver.TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!One of the biggest frustrations from this game was Indiana's inability to bring the necessary energy and intensity from the opening tip.The Pacers eventually showed more urgency and competitiveness, but by that point, they were already facing a significant deficit.Why did it take so long for Indiana to find that level of intensity? What can the team learn from its second-half performance? And how concerning is the continued inconsistency? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
