After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Trail Blazers 125-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
