After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Trail Blazers 110-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
