After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Raptors 114-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
