The Los Angeles Lakers learned their lesson. Anthony Davis had 31 points and 11 rebounds and the top-seeded Lakers bounced back from an opening loss to rout the Portland Trail Blazers 111-88 on Thursday night in Game 2 of the first-round Western Conference playoff series. “Obviously, this is an important game for us,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “We have tremendous respect for them. We’re going to have to battle the way we did tonight in every game this series.” Davis scored 28 points in Game 1, but made just 8 of 24 shots. In Game 2, he made 13 of 21. “I just wanted to come out tonight with the mindset tonight to be aggressive and to help my team on both ends of the floor and do whatever I had to do to help the team win,“ he said. LeBron James had 10 points, six rebounds, seven assists and six turnovers for the Lakers. He had 23 points,17 rebounds and a playoff career-high 16 assists in Game 1.
