After Action Report
In Portland, the Pacers took care of the Trail Blazers 123-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
