After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Raptors 115-110. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
