After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors handled the Lakers 118-105. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
