After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Lakers 111-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
