After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Trail Blazers 130-128. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
