After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Lakers 132-74. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
