After Action Report
The Pacers fended off the Trail Blazers 96-87. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
