After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Trail Blazers 121-118. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
