After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Raptors 122-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
