After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Raptors handled the Lakers 101-87. Every possession went the Raptors way. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
