11/02: LAKERS @ Portland Trail Blazers 2nd Half Open Thread and Discussion
This is the 2nd half of the Lakers-Blazers matchup. As usual, leave a comment below and share your thoughts on the game.
Q4
LAL 110 POR 113
This game hurts. Kuzma had a good look on that final shot, but with .7 seconds left, you have to get off a quick release. Unfortunately, that just fell short. KCP had the game tying three, but 15.5 seconds left, there was still a lot of time for the Blazers to execute a play and you knew the ball was going to be in the hands of Damian Lillard. Ingram played good defense on Lillard in those final seconds. But, Lillard has delivered time and time for the Blazers in clutch time. Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q3
LAL 85 POR 87
Well, the teams looked evenly matched down the stretch. The Lakers continued to implement the same formula that I talked about in the 2nd quarter. They successfully managed to put the Blazers in early foul trouble. And they've put a lot of ball pressure on defense. Down the stretch, they started to lose that edge and the Blazers came right back into this game. They're trying to be a little too cute with the playmaking when they've made a successful stop. They just have to slow down and relax. Luckily, they're just down by two heading into the fourth quarter.
