After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Pacers 91-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
