The first quarter of the game ended with the Trail Blazers leading the Lakers by 11 points, 41:30.
The Lakers' 30 points weren't few, but the Trail Blazers' 41 points in a single quarter were terrifying.
This was built on the foundation of Gan Guoyang's extremely efficient low-post one-on-one play; he scored 17 points in the quarter, made all three of his free throws, and only missed one shot.
Such high efficiency spurred on the entire Trail Blazers' offense, catching the Lakers off guard and putting them at a disadvantage from the start.
Moreover, after Rambis went back to the locker room, the Lakers' rotation in the paint was missing a piece, Riley and Jabbar had an argument, and Magic Johnson complained Morris Lucas wasn't running plays properly, leading to two missed offensive plays in the last two minutes of the quarter, which the Trail Blazers capitalized on for a counterattack.
