After Action Report
The Trail Blazers handled the Pacers 109-97. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
