At this point, the Trail Blazers did not want to lose.
Between a 20-game and a 30-game winning streak, it's the easiest time to stumble and lose.
Once they pass the 30-game winning mark, the team gets past that fatigue "peak" and starts to move more freely.
This match is a crucial moment; if they overcome it, they could reach even greater heights.
If they can't get through it, the streak will end, and everything will become history.
The Trail Blazers do not want to become history; they want to create history.
With the jump ball between Sabonis and Rick Smits, the game began.
Smits tipped the ball to Mark Jackson, and the Pacers started their first possession.
The Pacers' starters are Rick Smits, Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Dale Davis, and Mario Ely.
No difference compared to last season, but the Pacers have a very deep bench.
The bench includes talented players like Antonio Davis, Jalen Rose, and Travis Best.
