Pacers Struggle Offensively Against Trailblazers

Last updated on Tuesday, October 30, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Pacers lost for the first time at home Monday night as they fell to the Portland Trail Blazers 103-93.

C.J. McCollum and Zach Collins each had 17 points for Portland while Victor Oladipo led all scorers with 21 points.

Indiana had a poor shooting night, hitting just 41 percent of their shots and only 13-of-20 from the free throw line.

"We just missed shots," Oladipo said. "Even our open looks, we missed them. Just a tough night offensively."

All five starters for Indiana scored in double figures but Portland outscored Indiana 58-44 in the second half, which proved to be the difference.

Purdue alum Caleb Swanigan contributed 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for the Trail Blazers.

The Pacers fall to 4-3 and next visit the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
