After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors fended off the Lakers 105-96. Ugly basketball, but the Raptors did just enough. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
