Damien Lillard Leads Trail Blazers Past Pacers

Last updated on Monday, February 29, 2016

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Pacers dropped their second straight game as they fell to the Portland Trail Blazers 111-102 on Sunday.

Damien Lillard scored 20 of his game-high 33 points in the first quarter and led the Trail Blazers to their 13th victory in 15 games.

"We didn't stay with anybody on the defensive end and they got too many open looks," Frank Vogel said after the game. "We needed to contain their guards better and regulate their screens better."

C.J. McCollum and Gerald Henderson each had 19 points for Portland. Monta Ellis led Indiana with 18 points while Jordan Hill had 15 points off the bench.

The Pacers couldn't slow down the Trail Blazers offense as Portland shot 50 percent from the field and 58 percent from beyond the arc.

The Pacers get no time to relax as they take on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight in the Buckeye state.
