Derek Fisher praises the Lakers for their defense vs the Blazers

Derek Fisher had nothing but good words to say about the Los Angeles Lakers after their victory over the Portland Trail Blazers (93-102).

Fisher praised the Lakers for their defense in the second half, with the defending champions limiting Portland to just 36 points.

Fisher, a Lakers and NBA legend, noted the team should be very aggressive defensively until Anthony Davis is back from his injury (calf strain).

Thanks to their win, the Lakers snapped a four-game losing streak and improved to 23-11.
