After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Pacers 120-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
