The Lakers came out of the gate a bit slower than usual. They took their time to get into the game, trailing the Trail Blazers in both the first and second quarters.

Anthony Davis began demanding the ball in better post positions and started capitalizing on his opportunities. Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope offered better defense against the dribble penetration of McCollum and Lillard. Alex Caruso was a legitimate offensive option in the 4th quarter.

Overall, most of LeBron’s assists came in the 4th quarter – with 3 lobs highlighting the display. Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard gleefully devoured the tastefully served assists to him on a platter.
