Tue, Oct 27
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Nobody schedules an eight o'clock tip on a Tuesday for the benefit of the people in the building. That hour is a television hour, decided in a room far from Figueroa, and it means everyone in the lower bowl has made a small deliberate sacrifice of their Wednesday morning to be there. It changes the crowd. The casual ticket-holders thin out, the people who stay are the ones who were always going to stay, and the second half of a late tip downtown has a stubborn quality that a seven o'clock game simply does not. Portland is the opponent, which is the longest continuous argument on the Pacific coast and one almost nobody outside the two cities has ever bothered to notice. Getting out afterwards is the underrated part: the 110 at half past ten belongs to you in a way it never does at any other hour of the day.
