The Lakers took care of the Raptors 118-103. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
