After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers buried the Trail Blazers 119-90. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
