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.
