After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Lakers 110-107. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
