After a rough stretch, the Los Angeles Lakers were finally able to right the ship as they came away with a 128-120 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
It was high-scoring affair as both teams seemingly had no issues getting the looks they wanted, but the Lakers had the clear advantage near the rim as they scored 60 points in the paint compared to only 40 for the Trail Blazers. Los Angeles also did a better job of holding onto the ball this time around, only committing 11 turnovers on the night.
However, the Lakers also received a major lift from their bench as that unit scored a season-high 72 points.
