Blazers Find the Will to Win in Indiana

After a tough loss in New York left Blazer fans worried, Portland traveled to Indiana for a match against the Pacers. Having lost Danny Granger to injury, Indiana was in a similar situation to the Blazers. Both teams were looking to over come adversity once again.

Starters:
Brandon Roy
LaMarcus Aldridge
Steve Blake
Martell Webster
Joel Pryzbilla

Once again, Brandon Roy led the team to the win with an outstanding 29 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assits. Great to see the all-star effort come out in this game. LaMarcus Aldridge also shined with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Not to mention he had a pretty dunk late in the game. Also notable was Joel Pryzbilla's performance, 12 points 8 rebounds and 1 blocked shot. The big guy is really stepping his game up in the wake of Greg's absence. He was getting physical in the paint and even getting in on some pick and roll action.

Box Score:



It was hardly perfect but the Blazers came out with energy and a will to win which led to a 102 - 91 win over the Indiana Pacers.

The Blazers next play the Cleveland Cavaliers at Cleveland on Friday at 5 PM PST. The game will be aired on Comcast Sportsnet and on ESPN.

Apologies on the super short post for this game, but sickness and a fever prevent me from going into much detail. For more information and post game discussion be sure to check out posts from www.blazersedge.com and www.bustabucket.com!
