Throw out the Beef Stew: Pacers Win, Pistons Lose, like Little Brothers Normally Do Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back to discuss a very chippy game between the blue and gold and the red and blue. Detroit wanted so badly to respond to the beating they took on their homecourt earlier in the month against Indiana, but they found themselves on the wrong side again, taking their 3rd loss from the Pacers this season, behind a terrific night from Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton and multiple role players who outperformed what they're normally asked to do.

Pistons backup center, Isaiah Beef Stew Stewart was ejected from the game for two arm shoving Thomas Bryant around the head area, JB Bickerstaff felt like lines were crossed with what was said on the court and Tyrese Haliburton said until they meet in the playoffs, this is not a rivalry. We discuss all the theatrics in tonight's game and more!
