Down by as many as 25, the Los Angeles Lakers came all the way back to beat the Portland Trail Blazers.

They need reinforcements and with AD rumored to be returning in a week, it gives the Lakers hope that they can make a run. Indeed they were, as the Lakers and Blazers exchanged baskets and the Lakers took a two-point advantage following a Bryant seven-foot jumper. continued to apply pressure and after Pat Bev forced a turnover and a Dennis Schröder three, Lakers took a five-point advantage and finally had control of the game. And with the Lakers being one of the league’s worst in the third quarter, this game being a loss was a foregone conclusion, right? They came out blazing (pun intended) to start the third as LeBron drove to the basket unbothered throughout the quarter and the Lakers outscored Portland 40-20 in the third and shrunk the deficit down to five entering the fourth. His stat line of 4 points 2 rebounds and 2 assists are nothing to brag about, but his hustle plays, hockey assists and his ability to disrupt (and troll) Dame and Portland was evident in the second half. Part of that is management’s fault for roster construction, and part of that is injuries. The rest of the first half was all Portland, however, as they took control of the game. Of course, the game was not done after the first half of the opening quarter. You can follow Edwin on Twitter at [@ECreates88](http://twitter.com/ECreates88).
