After Action Report
In Toronto, the Lakers rolled past the Raptors 121-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
