After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Lakers 114-103. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
