After Action Report
In Portland, the Lakers took care of the Trail Blazers 109-98. Lakers' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
