In a track meet, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Pacers 111-106. Trail Blazers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
