After Action Report
In Indiana, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Pacers 102-91. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
