After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Raptors 102-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
