After Action Report

The Pacers held off the Trail Blazers 108-99. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
