After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Lakers 111-98. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
