After Action Report

The Raptors outlasted the Lakers 115-102. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. The Raptors looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
