Say farewell to the Portland Trail Blazers’ status as Las Vegas Summer League favorites, as they were soundly defeated by the Indiana Pacers. Indy blew the doors off in the third quarter, outscoring the rudderless and plodding Blazers 27-7, before eventually winning 97-64.
The big story of the day was Kenneth Faried’s third-quarter exit due to an apparent hand injury. There was no status update before the end of the game, so we’ll provide details as they arrive.
Summer League results are generally irrelevant (Championship celebration notwithstanding), so there is little to recap about the game itself.
