After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Pacers 123-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Pacers are in a full-on tailspin; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It broke open after the break.
