After struggling through the most lopsided quarter this season, the Lakers figured out a way to find new life.
The defining moment of the lopsided second frame was a pair of shots just seven seconds apart. After Westbrook airballed a open 3-point attempt from above the break, Lillard casually pulled up from near the midcourt logo over Troy Brown Jr. – and cashed it. James would add his own airball right before the halftime buzzer, condemning the Laker to a 45-13 second quarter.
It was the most one-sided quarter this season, according to ESPN – a new bottom from the Lakers’ own ignominious third quarter on Christmas Day against Dallas, when they were outscored 51-21. The frame ended on a dour note, with Portland ripping off 13 unanswered points before the intermission.The duo spurred a 21-3 run while combining for 30 of the Lakers’ 40 points in the third quarter, and Portland couldn’t find a way to stay between James and rim.
Bryant was also a huge factor throughout the game, but made as much impact outside the paint as in: He was 4 for 5 from three as well.
