LeBron James enmassed 31 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, Austin Reaves contributed with a season-high 22 points and the Los Angeles Lakers came back stronger from a tormenting defeat with a 128-109 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Anthony Davis had 27 points and 12 rebounds in the Lakers' sixth win in eight games. Los Angeles dusted off a bad defeat to Indiana. They blew a late 17-point lead by gaining an 18-point lead early in the fourth against Portland and holding on easily to defeat a squad with a victorious record for the first time since Nov. 2. Jerami Grant scored 27 points, Anfernee Simons had 22 and Justise Winslow added a season-high 21. The Lakers were without starters Lonnie Walker and Troy Brown Jr., who were both barred out shortly before game time because of sore left feet.
