Recapping the Awesome NBA Knockout Round: Pacers Upset Celtics, Pelicans Stop the Beam

Verno and KOC discuss Tyrese Haliburton’s amazing performance as the Pacers defeat the Celtics to advance to the semifinals of the in-season tournament (01:31). KOC also explains why Kristaps Porzingis is an X factor for any Celtics title hopes. The guys discuss Ime Udoka’s ejection over the weekend against the Lakers, and Sam Amick’s interview with James Harden (24:40). After the Kings got outmatched by the Pelicans, the guys debate the Kings’ need for size to truly compete for a title, and why Verno believes the Pels can cause trouble for either the Lakers or Suns in the next round (36:44).
