After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Pacers 119-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
