After Action Report

In Portland, the Lakers rolled past the Trail Blazers 114-89. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
