After Action Report

The Raptors buried the Lakers 118-94. Every possession went the Raptors way. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
