After Action Report

The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Lakers 115-91. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
