After Action Report
The Raptors edged the Lakers 125-116. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
