After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Lakers 131-107. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
