After Action Report
In Indiana, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Pacers 122-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
