The Lakers brought some Showtime back for a night.
In a blowout win over the Trail Blazers, the Lakers were having some fun, including a D’Angelo Russell bounce-pass alley-oop to LeBron James for a dunk.

Russell and LeBron scored the first 19 Lakers points of the fourth quarter when they pulled away. Russell had 34 points on the night and has played his best ball of the season since being re-inserted into the starting lineup five games ago: 27.2 points a game while shooting 54% from three, plus 6.4 assists a game. He was putting on a show against Portland, and Anthony Davis said postgame he is playing free now.
