After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers outlasted the Trail Blazers 114-106. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
