Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel revealed the team’s starting lineup for tonight’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Despite losing Game 1 to Portland 100-93, Vogel is rolling with the same starting lineup in Game 2.

The Lakers struggled shooting the ball in Game 1, as they went just 5-for-32 from 3-point range. Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope were two of the main culprits, shooting a combined 2-for-13 from beyond the arc.

The Lakers wasted a good performance from LeBron James, as he tallied a triple-double. James had 23 points, 17 rebounds and 16 assists.

The Lakers will also be without point guard Rajon Rondo despite the fact that he was considered 50-50 for tonight’s game.

Los Angeles will need a win tonight to avoid falling in an 0-2 hole in the series.

The Lakers and Blazers will tip off at 9 p.m. EST from the Orlando, Fla. bubble.
