After Action Report
The Raptors pulled away from the Lakers 119-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
