After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Trail Blazers 122-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
