LeBron James Takes Trail Blazers to (Old) School

The Portland Trail Blazers approached their game with the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night with little fear and tons of energy. The Lakers missing starting center Anthony Davis inspired hope that Portland could pull out a road win against their more accomplished foes. For much of the evening, that possibility stayed alive. Though youth, athleticism, and even a bit of luck (in the form of referee judgment calls) went Portland’s way, the Lakers had one more LeBron James than Portland brought to the table. That was enough to put L.A. over the top 114-106.
