After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Raptors 130-112. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
