The Portland Trail Blazers hung tough but ultimately lost 116-110 tonight to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. Jerami Grant led a balanced attack for the Blazers with 23 points. Turnovers, fouls, and missed three pointers-doomed the young Rip City squad.
Lebron James sat out this contest, but Anthony Davis scored a game-high 30 points with 13 rebounds.
The game was a back-and-forth affair with neither team running out to a big lead. Point guard Skylar Mays got the start with both Scoot Henderson and Malcom Brogdon sitting out with injuries. Portland also called up two players from their G-League affiliate, The Rip City Remix.
