After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Trail Blazers 113-102. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
