After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Pacers 101-94. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
