After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Trail Blazers 99-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
