It wasn\u2019t even close to being that close.<\/p>\n<p>L.A. was already shorthanded going into the game, as James and several other rotation players were unavailable. Due to a gastrointestinal sickness, they also lost Anthony Davis for the night after only 7 minutes. The rest of the Lakers just didn\u2019t seem to want to compete. Despite a shaky second quarter, Portland was able to cruise to a comfortable victory.<\/p>\n<p>Damian Lillard led the Blazers, who bounced back from his lowest scoring total in eight years against Indiana with a good, if not particularly remarkable, 25 points on 9-19 shooting and 6 assists in just three quarters. Jusuf Nurkic was the unsung hero, scoring 15 points on a perfect 6\/6 shooting night while also grabbing 17 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Russell Westbrook was a complete failure, this might have been the worst game of his career, he was horrendous from everywhere on the floor, he only made 1 of his 13 shots, and only scored 8 points with 6 assists that also with 6 turnovers, in my opinion, this trade was a mistake and till now it has been like that. Carmelo Anthony had an off night on his return to Portland where he revived his career scoring team-high 13 points. The game was so lopsided that the weekend audience at the Moda Center couldn\u2019t even generate a \u201cBeat L.A!\u201d chant.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Back to back home dubs \ud83c\udfa5 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gIpDBV3oqH\">pic.twitter.com\/gIpDBV3oqH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Portland Trail Blazers (@trailblazers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/trailblazers\/status\/1457218850970165257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 7, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakers were blown out by Dame\u2019s Portland by 105-90, AD left the game early due to stomach illness and Westbrook had the worst game of his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":220,"featured_media":38360,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2036,582,1073,1071,826,2877,1145],"class_list":["post-17616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-anthony-davis","tag-damian-lillard","tag-lebron-james","tag-los-angeles-lakers","tag-nba","tag-portland-trailblazers","tag-russell-westbrook"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/220"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
