The Lakers future may not be so bright right now, but somehow the team pulled out a 107-106 win over the Trailblazers on the road on Monday night. Portland, which is currently the #3 seed in the West and has a 23-8 home record this year, suffered a rare loss in Rip City due to Los Angeles’ brilliant alley oop inbounds play to Wes Johnson. Newly acquired SG Kent Bazemore threw the ball in to the former Syracuse star, who caught the ball over LaMarcus Aldridge and laid it in impressively.
Though this is a nice win away from LA, the Lakers are still in full tank mode (3-7 record in last 10 games).
