What happened: Jake LaRavia stripped Sidy Cissoko during a third quarter surge to help Los Angeles build a 97 to 88 lead over the Portland Trail Blazers. That takeaway capped an 8 to 2 spurt between timeouts and accompanied the 10th field goal of the game for Luka with 4:20 left in the period.

Why it matters: Wings who generate live-ball turnovers create easy transition points without needing plays called for them, a notable impact for a contributor returning from an early-season absence. Forcing the Portland Trail Blazers to burn a timeout highlights how perimeter ball pressure from the supporting cast amplifies primary scoring.
