The Trail Blazers demolished the Lakers 124-104. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
