Los Angeles Lakers basketball will be back on Saturday night after the NBA went on a brief hiatus following Wednesday afternoon’s league-wide walkout led by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Lakers will resume their best-of-seven series with a 3-1 lead later on this evening as they look to close out a Portland Trail Blazers team that will be without Damian Lillard for the duration of the series, as he is dealing with a lateral knee sprain.
The Lakers dominated the Blazers in the last game between these two teams, which happened nearly a week ago on Monday. They blitzed the Blazers 15-0 to begin the game and led by as many as 38 points.

Before the walkout, the Lakers were talking about needing to respect the desperation they expect the Blazers to play with as their season is now on the line.
