After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Lakers 118-64. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Lakers. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
