Portland Trail Blazers vs Indiana Pacers — 131:111, NBA

The Portland Trail Blazers rolled to a 131-111 win over the Indiana Pacers, pulling away over the course of the game and finishing with a 20-point margin. Portland’s offense was highly efficient, shooting 32-of-52 from the field (62.0%) while also generating consistent perimeter volume (15 made threes on 41 attempts). The Blazers paired that scoring with control of the glass, winning the rebounding battle 53-38, which helped them sustain momentum and limit Indiana’s second-chance opportunities. Scoot Henderson led Portland with 28 points, setting the tone as the Blazers repeatedly found quality looks and converted at a high rate. Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant added 21 points apiece, giving Portland multiple scoring options and making it difficult for Indiana to load up on any single threat. Deni Avdija chipped in 18 points as Portland’s balanced attack produced 29 assists, reflecting strong ball movement and a steady flow of open shots. For Indiana, Pascal Siakam paced the team with 22 points, but the Pacers couldn’t keep up with Portland’s combination of efficiency and rebounding. Indiana shot 27-of-53 (51.0%) and hit 14 threes on 42 attempts, yet the overall shot-making and possession deficit proved costly. The Pacers did move the ball effectively (27 assists), but they struggled to string together enough stops to prevent Portland from building separation. The result reinforces Portland’s upside when its offense is clicking and the team is winning the possession game through rebounding and assisted scoring. For Indiana, the performance underscores the importance of tightening up on the defensive end and improving on the boards against high-efficiency opponents, especially when the game pace and three-point volume are elevated.
