The Los Angeles Lakers left no doubt who the best team was in their series against the Portland Trail Blazers, but the Blazers left the game feeling even more pain than they did coming in as their best player Damian Lillard left the game with a right knee injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game, as the Lakers dominated. After three quarters, the Lakers led by 25 points, 112-87.
While the Blazers ruled Lillard out for the game, the Blazers’ superstar is undergoing more tests on his knee to determine how serious the injury is. The Lakers are going to take a 3-1 lead into Wednesday’s Game 5.
