Game 1: Trail Blazers 122, Lakers 108 — October 27, 2025
Final Score and Game Summary
The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 122–108 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on October 27, 2025. It was Portland’s first road win of the 2025-26 season and ended a six-game Lakers winning streak in the series.
The Lakers were severely short-handed. Luka Doncic (finger and leg contusion) and LeBron James (sciatica) were both ruled out. Marcus Smart (quadriceps) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) also missed the game, leaving Austin Reaves as the only experienced ball handler on the floor.
Reaves was brilliant — scoring 41 points on 13-of-22 shooting — but he could not carry the team alone. Portland’s three-headed attack of Deni Avdija, Jrue Holiday, and Jerami Grant was too much for a depleted Lakers squad.
Quarter-by-Quarter Scoring — Game 1

| Q1 | 24 | 21 |

Portland led in every quarter. The Blazers opened a 12-point lead in Q3 after Deni Avdija hit back-to-back three-pointers to push the advantage to 73-58. Jrue Holiday then scored 17 of his 24 points in the second half to ice the game.
Team Stats — Game 1
| Stat | Trail Blazers (POR) | Lakers (LAL) |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 45.6% | 47.1% |
| 3-Point % | 32.6% (14-43) | 25.9% (7-27) |
| Turnovers | 19 | 25 |
| Largest Lead | 18 | 5 |
| Rebounds | 49 | 42 |
The Lakers actually shot the ball reasonably well from the field, but 25 turnovers — eight by Reaves alone — were catastrophic. Reaves was left to handle the ball every possession and Portland took advantage.
Key Player Stats — Game 1
Austin Reaves (LAL) — 41 Points Reaves was unstoppable individually. He scored 41 points on 13-22 FG, 3-8 from three, and 12-14 from the free-throw line. He scored 92 points in two nights, following his career-high 51 the night before in Sacramento. However, his 8 turnovers reflected the impossible position of running an entire offense alone.
Rui Hachimura (LAL) — 16 Points, 6 Rebounds Hachimura was one of the few Lakers contributors beyond Reaves. He added 16 points and six rebounds but couldn’t generate enough secondary scoring support to threaten Portland’s lead.
Deandre Ayton (LAL) — 16 Points, 8 Rebounds Ayton had a solid night in the paint with 16 points and 8 rebounds. The Reaves-Ayton pick-and-roll combination produced some efficient looks but wasn’t enough with no other playmakers available.
Jarred Vanderbilt (LAL) — 14 Points, 8 Rebounds, 3 Steals Vanderbilt delivered one of his most complete performances of the early season. His 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 steals gave him impact across all three phases, but the team simply had too little firepower.
Deni Avdija (POR) — 25 Points Avdija scored 17 of his 25 in the first half and was Portland’s most dangerous weapon early. His efficiency from mid-range and his ability to create off the dribble kept the Blazers in control all night.
Jrue Holiday (POR) — 24 Points, 6 Assists Holiday was the closer. He scored 17 of his 24 in the second half, including two crucial three-pointers in the opening minutes of Q4 that pushed the lead to 97-79. His veteran poise at critical moments was decisive.
Jerami Grant (POR) — 22 Points (off bench) Grant provided a massive lift from the Portland bench, scoring 22 points as the third Blazer in double figures. His scoring removed any doubt about the outcome in the second half.
Shaedon Sharpe (POR) — 16 Points Sharpe added 16 points and was particularly effective in transition. His athleticism and scoring around the rim caused constant problems for the short-handed Lakers defense.
Donovan Clingan (POR) — 16 Points Clingan contributed 16 points in just his second NBA season, capping off a balanced and deep Portland offensive performance.
Game 2: Lakers 123, Trail Blazers 115 — November 3, 2025
Final Score and Game Summary
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 123–115 at the Moda Center on November 3, 2025. The win was historically notable — the Lakers became the first team in NBA history to have six different players score 25-plus points over a two-game span.
Los Angeles was again missing key stars. Luka Doncic (leg contusion) was out. Austin Reaves (groin soreness) was ruled out after playing the night before. LeBron James and Gabe Vincent were also unavailable. The Lakers suited up with only nine available players.
Portland entered the game on a three-game winning streak. The Blazers led by as many as 13 points in the first half, but the Lakers mounted a remarkable comeback fueled by Deandre Ayton, Rui Hachimura, and the surprising brilliance of two-way contract player Nick Smith Jr.
Quarter-by-Quarter Scoring — Game 2
| Quarter | Lakers | Trail Blazers |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 24 | 33 |
| Q2 | 28 | 20 |
| Q3 | 38 | 33 |
| Q4 | 33 | 29 |
| Final | 123 | 115 |
Portland dominated Q1, building the 13-point lead. The Lakers outscored Portland 28-20 in Q2 to trail just 53-52 at halftime. A historic 38-point third quarter — led by Ayton, Hachimura, and Smith Jr. — flipped the game entirely. Los Angeles never trailed again after Marcus Smart’s go-ahead basket in Q3.
Team Stats — Game 2
| Stat | Lakers (LAL) | Trail Blazers (POR) |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Point % (9-40) | — | 22.5% |
| Total Points Leaders | Ayton 29, Hachimura 28, Smith 25 | Avdija 33, Holiday 17 |
| Rebounds | 55+ | 49 |
| Turnovers | Multiple first-half | Lower second half |
| Final Margin | +8 | — |
Portland struggled badly from three-point range, making only 9 of 40 attempts (22.5%). That inefficiency from the perimeter ultimately cost them the game as the Lakers’ interior presence with Ayton overpowered Portland’s defense in the second half.
Key Player Stats — Game 2
Deandre Ayton (LAL) — 29 Points, 10 Rebounds, 3 Blocks Ayton delivered the performance of his Lakers tenure, going off against his former team for 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 30 minutes. He was the hub of the Lakers’ offense, finishing at the rim, converting pick-and-roll layups, and dominating the paint on both ends.
Rui Hachimura (LAL) — 28 Points Hachimura scored 18 points in the first half alone as the Lakers clawed back from their deficit. He was the most consistent offensive force in the first half, hitting mid-range jumpers and attacking the basket with confidence.
Nick Smith Jr. (LAL) — 25 Points Smith, on a two-way contract, was the unexpected hero. He hit multiple clutch three-pointers in the fourth quarter to seal the win, finishing with 25 points. The Lakers became the first team ever with six 25-point scorers in two consecutive games, and Smith provided the sixth contribution (joining Doncic 29, Reaves 26, LaRavia 25 from Game 1 vs. Miami, plus Ayton, Hachimura in this game).
Marcus Smart (LAL) — Key Defensive and Playmaking Role Smart provided crucial defensive resistance and playmaking. His go-ahead basket midway through Q3 capped the decisive 10-1 run that put the Lakers ahead for good.
Jake LaRavia (LAL) — Defense and Energy LaRavia was outstanding defensively in the third quarter, helping ignite the 10-1 run alongside Smart. His defense on Avdija and help-side rotations were critical.
Bronny James (LAL) — Confidence and Hustle Bronny James came off the bench and made multiple plays that energized the crowd and his teammates. With the team desperate for positive contributions, his hustle on both ends helped sustain the run.
Deni Avdija (POR) — 33 Points, 6 Rebounds Avdija was Portland’s best player and had his finest game of the early season with 33 points and 6 rebounds. But Portland’s collective inability to hit threes — going just 9-for-40 — undermined his individual excellence.
Jrue Holiday (POR) — 17 Points Holiday had 17 points but struggled to generate the same late-game impact he had in Game 1. The Lakers’ defense made him work harder for every shot.
Shaedon Sharpe (POR) — 16+ Points Sharpe was active and scoring but couldn’t compensate for the Blazers’ poor three-point shooting or find an answer for Ayton in the paint.
Game 3: Trail Blazers 132, Lakers 116 — January 17, 2026
Final Score and Game Summary
The Portland Trail Blazers dominated the Los Angeles Lakers 132–116 at the Moda Center on January 17, 2026. It was the most lopsided of the three meetings and Portland’s most convincing win of the series.
The Lakers came in struggling — they had lost eight of their last 13 games and were without Luka Doncic (left groin soreness), Deandre Ayton (left knee soreness), Austin Reaves, and Jaxson Hayes. Portland was also shorthanded, missing leading scorer Deni Avdija (back strain) for a third straight game.
Despite both teams being depleted, Portland’s depth advantage was decisive. LeBron James and Marcus Smart played well for Los Angeles but couldn’t overcome a Blazers team firing on all cylinders from the bench. The win dropped the Lakers to the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference at 24-16.
Quarter-by-Quarter Scoring — Game 3
| Quarter | Trail Blazers | Lakers |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 40 | 27 |
| Q2 | 31 | 34 |
| Q3 | 35 | 30 |
| Q4 | 26 | 25 |
| Final | 132 | 116 |
Portland’s 40-point opening quarter was devastating. The Blazers built a 13-point lead going into the second quarter and never let the Lakers fully recover. The closest Los Angeles got was within eight points in Q2 when LeBron dunked to make it 53-47, but Sharpe responded with a dunk to stop the run.
Team Stats — Game 3
| Stat | Trail Blazers (POR) | Lakers (LAL) |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 55% | Struggled |
| Q1 Scoring | 40 | 27 |
| Lead at Half | 71-61 | — |
| Largest Lead | 24 | 8 |
| Free Throws Allowed to POR | 22 (Q1 alone) | — |
Portland’s 55% shooting from the field was the highest in the three-game series. The Lakers sent Portland to the free-throw line 22 times in the first quarter alone, a reflection of their inability to defend without their normal frontcourt.
Key Player Stats — Game 3
Shaedon Sharpe (POR) — 25 Points, 3 Rebounds, 4 Assists, 2 Steals Sharpe led Portland with 25 points on 9-of-18 shooting, including 4-of-8 from three-point range. He was the Blazers’ best player with Avdija out, showing why he is considered one of the most explosive young wings in the NBA.
Jerami Grant (POR) — 22 Points, 3 Rebounds, 2 Assists Grant returned from a 14-game Achilles-related absence and immediately delivered. His 22 points off the bench provided Portland with a scoring punch that the Lakers simply had no answer for.
Caleb Love (POR) — 22 Points, 7 Assists Love was outstanding. He scored 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three in the first half. His combination of playmaking and scoring — particularly from outside — was a major factor in Portland’s fast start.
Donovan Clingan (POR) — 18 Points, 11 Rebounds, 4 Assists Clingan had a dominant double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. With Deandre Ayton absent for the Lakers, Clingan was able to operate freely in the paint, setting the tone for Portland’s interior dominance.
Sidy Cissoko (POR) — 14 Points Cissoko added 14 important points to give Portland five double-digit scorers, reinforcing the depth advantage that proved decisive.
Marcus Smart (LAL) — 25 Points, 2 Rebounds Smart was the Lakers’ best player, hitting multiple three-pointers including two straight to open the second half. He scored 25 points before limping off in Q4 with an unknown injury and not returning — adding more injury concern to a team already struggling with absences.
LeBron James (LAL) — 20 Points, 9 Rebounds, 8 Assists LeBron played well all things considered. His stat line of 20-9-8 was excellent, but without a second star alongside him, he could not carry the Lakers to a competitive finish. Coach JJ Redick rested him on the bench with 5:40 remaining as the game was already decided.
Drew Timme (LAL) — 21 Points, 2 Rebounds, 3 Assists Timme, a backup center, was the surprise contributor with 21 points off the bench. His early nine-point burst kept the Lakers within striking distance in the first quarter before Portland extended the lead.
Maxi Kleber (LAL) — 11 Points, 5 Rebounds With Ayton and Hayes both out, Kleber was the only center available and had his best game as a Laker. He scored nine of the first 14 Lakers points and finished with 11 points and 5 rebounds.
Rui Hachimura (LAL) — 11 Points, 2 Steals Hachimura was limited to 11 points after his standout performances in the earlier matchups. Portland’s defense did a better job of minimizing his impact in Game 3.

The Luka Doncic Absence Factor
Luka Doncic missed all three Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers games in 2025-26. He was absent from Game 1 with a sprained finger and leg contusion, Game 2 with a lower left leg contusion, and Game 3 with left groin soreness.
Doncic leads the NBA in scoring with a 33.6-point average in 2025-26. The Lakers are 0-3 against Portland without him and have a very different offensive ceiling when he is unavailable. His absence is the single biggest factor in the Blazers’ series lead.
LeBron James vs. Portland in 2025-26
LeBron played in two of the three games, missing only Game 1 due to sciatica. In Game 3 he posted 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists — one of the better all-around performances in the series from any player. James represented the Lakers as an All-Star in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game held in Los Angeles in February, extending his NBA record to 22 consecutive All-Star selections.
Austin Reaves: 41-Point Night vs. Portland
Austin Reaves delivered one of the most remarkable individual performances of the early 2025-26 season in Game 1 against Portland. He scored 41 points just one night after posting a then-career-high 51 against Sacramento — giving him 92 points in 48 hours.
Over the first four games of 2025-26, Reaves totaled 143 points, matching Elgin Baylor (1962-63) for the third most through the first four games in Lakers history. Only Kobe Bryant (146 in 2005-06) and Jerry West (154 in 1969-70) scored more in that span.
Portland Trail Blazers’ 2025-26 Season Context
Portland entered the 2025-26 season as a team in transition with a young roster that surpassed expectations. The Blazers have shown genuine competitiveness in the Western Conference and were fighting for a Play-In Tournament position when Game 3 was played in January.
Their depth is the standout trait. Even without Avdija in Game 3, Portland got 22-point games from Sharpe, Grant, and Love simultaneously. Interim head coach Tiago Splitter has kept the team organized and competitive through significant injury absences.
Lakers 2025-26 Season Context
The Lakers entered 2025-26 with high expectations after acquiring Luka Doncic. Early in the season they were a legitimate contender, ranking as high as No. 3 in the Western Conference. But by January, repeated injuries to Doncic, James, Reaves, Ayton, and others had dropped them to the No. 6 seed.
The Portland series reflects both the Lakers’ ceiling — historic offensive outputs when healthy — and their floor — significant vulnerability when even one or two key players are absent. The relationship between health and their playoff seeding will define the rest of 2026.

Conclusion
Latest Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers match player stats from the 2025-26 NBA season tell a story of depleted rosters, unexpected heroes, and Portland’s convincing home dominance.
The Blazers won two of three meetings — both at the Moda Center — while Los Angeles claimed the only road victory in Portland on November 3. Deandre Ayton’s 29-point, 10-rebound masterpiece against his former team was the highlight of the series for the Lakers.
Austin Reaves’ 41-point night in a losing effort was one of the most individually impressive performances of the season. For Portland, Deni Avdija’s 33-point Game 2 performance and Shaedon Sharpe’s 25-point leadership in Game 3 showed why the Blazers are a genuinely dangerous team.
With Luka Doncic absent from all three contests, the Lakers remain 0-3 in this series without their superstar — a clear sign of just how much their championship ceiling depends on his health heading into the 2026 playoff push.
