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.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
