After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Trail Blazers 96-76. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Pacers; the Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
