After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Pacers 101-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
