After Action Report
The Pacers rolled past the Trail Blazers 115-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
