After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Lakers 123-111. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
