Anfernee Simons recorded 22 points and seven assists and Jerami Grant added 20 points as the Portland Trail Blazers continued their home domination of the Indiana Pacers with a 112-89 victory on Tuesday night.

Scoot Henderson amassed 17 points, eight rebounds and five assists and Shaedon Sharpe produced 17 points and three steals as the Trail Blazers won their fifth consecutive game and prevailed for the ninth time in the past 10. Six of the nine wins during the 10-game stretch have been by double digits.

Toumani Camara added 13 points for Portland, which never trailed and won for the 15th time in its past 16 home contests against Indiana.

Andrew Nembhard scored 17 points and Pascal Siakam added 16 for the Pacers, who had a four-game winning streak halted and lost for just the third time in the past 15 games.

T.J. McConnell put up 14 points and Bennedict Mathurin added 12 points and seven rebounds as Indiana had a six-game road winning streak stopped, one shy of the franchise record set at the outset of the 2003-04 season.

Portland made 44.6 percent of its shots and was 14 of 37 (37.8 percent) from 3-point range. Robert Williams III collected 11 rebounds as the Trail Blazers had a 51-39 rebounding advantage.

The Pacers connected on 42 percent of their field-goal attempts, including a lowly 5 of 24 (20.8 percent) from behind the arc.

Indiana, down by seven at halftime, moved within one 4 1/2 minutes into the second half before Portland ripped off 11 consecutive points.

Williams started the surge with a dunk and Deni Avdija followed with a 3-pointer to make it 58-52. Sharpe had two dunks around a basket by Deandre Ayton as Portland took a 64-52 lead with 5:01 left in the third quarter.

Consecutive dunks by Camara and Ayton pushed the Trail Blazers lead to 71-56 with 3:12 remaining in the quarter.

Portland led 78-66 entering the final period before Indiana moved within 82-76 on two free throws by Siakam with 8:43 remaining.

The Trail Blazers answered with Simons’ basket and Henderson’s driving hoop and ensuing 3-pointer to make it a 13-point lead with 6:13 left. Simons added a jumper to cap the 9-0 surge and make it 91-76.

Simons and Grant later hit consecutive 3-pointers to make it 101-81 with 4:06 left, and Portland’s lead topped out at 25.

Simons scored 12 first-half points as Portland led 45-38 at the break. Mathurin and Siakam had 10 points apiece in the half for Indiana.
