The Portland Trailblazers found themselves in a game for around three frames. Leading 91-83 at the end of the 3rd the Lakers were still holding up on the efforts of L.A. Native Nick Young dba @NickSwagyPYoung on Twitter and also "Nick at Nite" 2.0 at Bluedude Sportstalk.   

The Blazers finally catch their groove and end up beating the Laker going away 124-112 but it wasn't that close as Rip City 119-99 right at the three minute mark in the fourth. Dame Lillard had a team-high 34 points and eight assists while L-Train Aldridge added 31 points and hauled in fifteen Oranges while waiting six Blazer Tables. Rip City shoots 13 for 29 from deep after only committing ten turnovers.

The Lakers get 40 points from Swagy P on 15 for 26 from the field and 6 for 13 from Deep. Kent Bazemore playing for another contract added 17 points while Chris Kaman chipped in with 12 points and six boards. PG NASHty dba Steve Nash nowadays went double double 10 points and ten helpers. Lakers just could not stop the Blazers from anywhere and their two All-Stars had huge nights.
