After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Lakers 125-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
