After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Lakers 107-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
