The Trail Blazers survived the Lakers 108-107. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
