After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Raptors 108-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; Raptors' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
