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.
