After Action Report

In Toronto, the Raptors snuck past the Lakers 126-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
