The Los Angeles Lakers got back in the win column on Sunday evening by defeating the Portland Trail Blazers in relatively comfortable fashion. Even without LeBron James in the lineup, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell were stellar and helped lift L.A. to the victory.
It was a much-needed win after the Lakers had lost three straight and seven of their previous nine games.
