On this episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan recap Indiana’s 109-133 home loss to Charlotte on Feb 26 – their fifth straight defeat post-All-Star break, dropping to 15-45 on the season.Obi Toppin returned from stress fracture surgery with a warm ovation and early impact, but the defense collapsed again, allowing 130+ points for the 4th straight contest. Charlotte looked legit, extending a franchise-best 9-game road win streak to improve to 29-31. Rookie Kon Knueppel broke the NBA rookie single-season 3-point record (207th made) en route to 28 pts on 8-12 from deep, while Brandon Miller dropped 33. The Pacers’ offense stalled out early with a 12 point 2nd quarter, looking disjointed and unable to stop the bleeding. The brothers discuss Obi’s ramp-up, the ongoing defensive woes, Charlotte’s East rise, and the tank rolling on.
