After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Pacers 135-81. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
