If the Portland Trail Blazers intend to stop winning any time soon, they’re showing no signs of it. On Tuesday night they welcomed the Indiana Pacers to the Moda Center, then proceeded to pummel them into submission in a 112-89 win. Indiana fielded defenders as energetic as the Blazers and were carrying their own four-game win streak coming into the evening. Portland played Bugs Bunny to their Elmer Fudd, looping around them, leaping over them, and generally misdirecting them into a series of mistakes and misses.
Indiana shot 42% from the floor. Their leading scorer, Andrew Nembhard, scored just 17.
