After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Raptors demolished the Lakers 113-88. Every possession went the Raptors way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Raptors; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
