After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Trail Blazers 100-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
