Regular Season Round 43: Indiana P. - Portland TB 85-95

Date: December 13, 2014
The Northwest Division-leading Portland Trail Blazers shed the frustrations of a two-game losing streak in a big way Saturday night against the struggling Indiana Pacers. Portland outscored Indiana 36-15 in the pivotal second quarter on its way to a 95-85 victory at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Forward LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 19 points, and point guard Damian Lillard added 18. Point guard C.J. Watson scored 23 to lead the Pacers (7-17), who have lost eight games in a row. The Trail Blazers (18-6) made 14 of 18 second-quarter shots (77.8 percent), including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. Reserve guard Steve Blake and backup centers Chris Kaman and Joel Freeland combined to hit 6 of 6 from the field for 14 points. The 36 points were the most Indiana has surrendered in a quarter this season. The Pacers made just 6 of 20 shots in the quarter and committed four turnovers. Portland began the third quarter on a 9-2 run, taking a 67-40 lead on Aldridge's putback with 8:42 left. After a timeout by Indiana coach Frank Vogel, Aldridge scored on a jumper for a 69-40 advantage. While Indiana found a bit of an offensive rhythm in the third quarter, Aldridge took the ball to the basket at will, adding a three-point play with 2:42 left in the quarter for an 82-59 cushion. Three free throws by Watson in the quarter's closing seconds capped a 7-0 Indiana run, trimming the gap to 82-66. The Pacers outscored the Trail Blazers 28-24 in the quarter. Indiana continued to slice into the Portland lead, scoring the fourth quarter's first five points, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout with 9:42 to play and leading 82-71. The Pacers had opportunities to cut deeper into the deficit but made only 1 of 8 field goal attempts to start the fourth quarter. Courtesy of: wptz.com
