After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers snuck past the Trail Blazers 114-113. Lakers' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
