After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Lakers 121-111. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
