The Portland Trail Blazers faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers minus half their lineup tonight due to COVID and injuries. L.A. played without Anthony Davis, but LeBron James did suit up. That was all the Lakers needed. LeBron scored 43, L.A. shot 54.8% from the field and 45.0% from the arc. That was enough for a 139-106 trouncing, a game in which Portland never stood a chance.
