The Portland Trail Blazers are escaping death after beating the Indiana Pacers by a score of 127-119 inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
The Blazers dominated the game through three quarters, leading by as much as 22 points. However, the Pacers, who came into the matchup losing 14 in a row, played with a lot of heart down the stretch and cut the deficit to within three points.
