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.

- 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.
