The Trail Blazers suffered their fifth loss in six games after falling to the Pacers on Thursday. Indiana held on to a 106-100 lead thanks to a 20-point, 11-rebound double-double from Domantas Sabonis. For the Blazers, CJ McCollum and Gary Trent Jr. combined for 48 points. Despite facing a double-digit deficit late in the fourth quarter, coach Terry Stotts’ squad cut the Pacers’ lead to three points before a three-pointer from Myles Turner hammered the final nail into the coffin.
Loss aside, the Blazers’ depleted roster displayed resilience on the road.
