After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Trail Blazers 115-112. Lakers' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
