Coming off a tough victory over the Indiana Pacers, the Los Angeles Lakers were afforded no breaks as they head to Portland to face the Trail Blazers. Portland has the second-best record in the Western Conference and is led by their all-stars, Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge. A tough task was made even tougher as the Lakers were without Kobe Bryant (rest) and Wesley Johnson (hip). Check out the highlights:
