After Action Report
The Raptors squeaked past the Lakers 102-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
