After Action Report
In Indiana, the Trail Blazers buried the Pacers 119-92. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
