After Action Report
The Raptors survived the Lakers 106-101. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
