After Action Report

The Lakers pulled away from the Raptors 113-94. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
