[Retroram52]

Trail Blazers cut the lead to 4 points with 20 seconds left.

 

[Retroram52]

James hits a shot and the lead is back to 6 points with 6 seconds left.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves hits two FTs and the lead is 8. The Lakers win and take the game at home. Good win and they are playing better on both end of the court. Still are having lapses in Defense but Koloko and DFS are helping in that department.

Atlanta comes into town tomorrow night for a back-to-backer and we shall see if AD and Vincent play tomorrow night.

DFS is struggling tonight in the shooting department. Still stuck at 3-points.

He's had the highest plus/minus on the team in each of his two Laker games. He's making a real difference defensively. He's not going to be a volume scorer, but he should improve his efficiency as his role and rotation slot in the offense stabilizes.

I would expect AD to play, but wonder if now Lebron will be out because of the b2b.

If the refs hadn't gifted the Blazers at least 7 points (2 bad goaltending calls and the fouled 3 pt shooter that had a defender pushed into him), it would've been a smoother evening for sure.
