After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors ran roughshod over the Lakers 122-100. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
