After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Lakers 107-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
