After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Pacers 128-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
