After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Lakers 109-79. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
