LeBron James scored 31 points and Anthony Davis added 27 points with 12 rebounds as the Los Angeles Lakers rebounded from a demoralizing loss earlier this week to earn a 128–109 victory Wednesday, Nov. 30, over the visiting Portland Trail Blazers.

Austin Reaves had 22 points in his eighth start of the season as the Lakers showed a finishing kick after blowing a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter Monday in a loss to the Indiana Pacers at home.
