After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Lakers 124-74. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
