After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Lakers 108-105. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · 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.
