By DANIEL MASSACourtesy nbacompacersThe Indiana Pacers began a five-game Western

Conference road trip with a 131-109 loss to the PortlandTrail Blazers at the Moda Center on Wednesday night

Jeff Teague led the Pacers with 25 points and also addedeight assists and five rebounds Myles Turner recorded hissecond consecutive double-double with 19 points and 10rebounds and Aaron Brooks chipped in a season-high 16points Glenn Robinson III (15) and Al Jefferson (13)rounded out the group of Pacers to score in double figures

The Pacers (9-10) could not replicate the stellardefensive performance from their previous game a 91-70win over the Los Angeles Clippers The high-powered TrailBlazers (10-10) offense scored 73 points in the first halfalone buoyed by a balanced attack that saw five Blazers

score in double figures Portlands 131 points are the mostthe Pacers have given up this season

We just couldnt run with them Pacers head coachNate McMillan said after the game They did a good jobof running their sets and moving the ball from side to sideThey had a 42 point quarter 30 point first quarter 42 pointsecond quarter Really we never established ourselvesdefensively against this team and we thought it took a tollon the offensive part of the floor

Indiana allowed Portland to score its first 12 points inthe paint which opened the floor up for a Blazers 3-pointbarrage especially in the second quarter The Blazersfinished the first half 8-of-12 from deep and held a 73-58lead at the break

Portlands lead ballooned to as much as 28 during thethird quarter but the Pacers put together a 16-3 run to start

the fourth capped by an Aaron Brooks 3-pointer to cut theBlazers lead to just 13

The majority of that run was made with an interestinglineup on the floor Teague Brooks Stuckey Turner andJefferson helped chip in to the Blazers lead It was the firsttime all season that Turner and Jefferson appeared on thesame five-man lineup

However that 13-point deficit is as close as Indianawould get the rest of the way as Damian Lillard scoredeight of his game-high 28 points in the fourth quarter afterPortland missed its first nine shots of the frame

(The Trail Blazers) executed their offense AaronBrooks said Against them youve got to be ready play andwe just came out flat at the beginning of the game If wedonrsquot want to keep teetering around 500 wersquore going tohave to string something together
