After Action Report
The Raptors blew the doors off the Lakers 118-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
