After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 105-75. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
