After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Raptors 96-91. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
