After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 122-79. Lakers torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
