After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers outlasted the Lakers 124-117. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
