MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- There's something about the Memphis Grizzlies, the NBA's worst team, that brings out the worst in the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers, in their worst defensive effort this season, allowed Memphis to hit 60 percent of its shots, trailed by as many as 12 points in the third quarter and then faded after going ahead in the fourth quarter in a 122-111 defeat.

"We didn't really let them feel what our defense was all about," said guard Reggie Miller (10 points), who struggled in his return after missing the previous two games because of a suspension.
