The Indiana Pacers fell to the Portland Trail Blazers on a Monday night where nothing went right. Well, for most of the evening, at least. Indiana has historically struggled in Portland and tonight was no different; the Pacers still have not won in the state of Oregon since 2007.
Midway through the second quarter, the Pacers hit their zenith with an 11 point lead and rolled down the hill from there. It was a three-point deluge in the third quarter that ultimately put the Pacers in their watery grave. In the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers shot 60% from the field.
