After Action Report
The Raptors ran roughshod over the Lakers 126-93. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
