After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Raptors 129-114. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
