After Action Report

The Raptors survived the Lakers 111-109. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. The Raptors ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
