After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Trail Blazers 116-112 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
