After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers edged the Lakers 113-106. Trail Blazers torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
