After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Raptors squeaked past the Lakers 102-101. Raptors' offense had its way with the Lakers. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
