After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Raptors 120-119. The tempo dragged the Raptors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Lakers. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
