After Action Report
In Portland, the Lakers fended off the Trail Blazers 109-103. Lakers torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
