After Action Report

The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Lakers 110-87. Trail Blazers torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
