After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Raptors 125-93. Lakers' offense had its way with the Raptors. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
