After Action Report
The Pacers rolled past the Trail Blazers 128-93. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
