Pacers Podcast: Paul George, Thad Young avoid disaster, push Pacers past Wizards

It can be a short leap from hero to goat (think Billy, not MJ) in the NBA.

Paul George made some big shots down the stretch but came up one bucket short of knocking out the Wizards just as NBA Twitter was riding in to sing PG's crunch-time praises. The Wiz took advantage of a few empty trips, which included a turnover and two misses by PG, to erase a late seven-point deficit and tie the game late.

Washington then made sure PG wouldn't beat them in the final possession, so the Pacers turned to Thad Young who hit a sweet runner for the lead.
