After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Trail Blazers 126-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
