After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Raptors 127-100. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
