Update: It’s a possible preview of a first-round playoff series. The Lakers historically have had a hard time at the Rose Garden, enduring a nine-game losing streak that finally ended last year, but have done much better at Staples Center against Portland. The Lakers have won nine of their last 11 at home against the Trail Blazers, including a 121-96 victory in November.
