After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Lakers 113-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
