After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Trail Blazers 118-101. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
