The Lakers pulled away from the Raptors 110-95. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
