After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Lakers 111-101. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
