After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Raptors 106-100. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
