If I told you that Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined for just 33 points - and that the Trail Blazers starting unit combined for just 49 points as a whole - you would probably think the Pacers won the game. If I added that Portland had 10 more turnovers than the Pacers, two technical fouls, and the game was played in Bankers Life Fieldhouse, you would probably think the Pacers won by, well, a lot.
Think again.
One problem was that Portland’s bench had 54 points.
