After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Pacers 115-100. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
