Lakers have their worst quarter in franchise history and their second-biggest halftime comeback in franchise history the same night. Just the stone cold content machine nuts every game.

What a rollercoaster! But when the ride stopped, the Lakers won!

So, let me get this straight. Portland was up 2, Pat Beverley started talking smack to Dame Lillard. Dame told him, "I'll beat your ass," & in less than 8 minutes, the Lakers are down 25. Why would Pat Bev think a dude from East Oakland was the one to try?

Funny thing is, Ham and LeBron JUST talked about how hard this Lakers team competes every night. We will see if they can get that narrative back on track in the 2nd half because the 2nd quarter did not look like it

Per @Stathead: The Lakers are the first team in the shot clock era (1954-55) to lose a quarter by 32 points or more and win the game 🤯#LakeShow pic.twitter.com/GjQgYoMJwI

Lakers winning games with guys on minimum deals carrying way larger roles than they should. Most important thing to me is Anthony Davis is returning to a completely different team than the one he was on in December.

LeBron has plenty of help, even without AD. Lakers storm back from 25 down at half, outscore Blazers at Portland 75-41 in the second half. Plenty of help from Thomas Bryant, Schroder, PatBev. Way to go, guys. Good luck vs Clippers on Tuesday.
