After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Lakers 116-96. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
