After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Pacers 101-97. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
