After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Pacers 105-98. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
