The Portland Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn from beyond the arc, but Indiana won 108-99 by doing just enough in the fourth while the Blazers floundered.
While Portland has been one of the best shooting teams in the NBA from deep this season, they weren’t tonight, shooting only 27.3 percent from three. While Indiana only shot [ercent from deep themselves, the majority of the Pacers makes came in the fourth quarter while the Blazers were missing everything from everywhere. This was yet another game that was set up for the Blazers to win but poor execution down the stretch was again their undoing.
