After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Lakers 120-103. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. 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.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
