After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Raptors 123-96. Lakers torched the Raptors on the offensive end. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
