After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Pacers 106-80. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
