Game Recap
Portland's dominance in the first half decided this one. The Trail Blazers and Pacers combined for 141 points in the opening 24 minutes, setting a frenetic pace that Indiana couldn't sustain—Q2 was the apex, with a combined 71 points as both teams traded buckets freely. But the second half told a different story. Portland and Indiana managed just 105 combined points across the final two quarters, a 36-point drop that deflated what had been an offensive showcase. Portland won 127–119, and the combined 246 exceeded the market total of 232.5 by 13.5 points.
Deni Avdija led Portland's charge with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Donovan Clingan added 28 points and 13 boards—a one-two punch that overwhelmed Indiana's interior. Toumani Camara chipped in 17 points as the Blazers' offense hummed in the first half. Indiana's Ivica Zubac (18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists) and Jalen Slawson (17 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists) couldn't generate enough support, and Aaron Nesmith's 15 points proved insufficient to close the gap. Portland's recent form—averaging 110.9 points scored—showed up in full, and their last head-to-head with Indiana on March 8 (a 242-point total) telegraphed the offensive capacity on display here. DAGGER's pregame UNDER call missed, but the model caught the live reversal and hit.
