After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Trail Blazers 133-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
