After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Pacers 129-108. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
