After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Lakers 121-82. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
