After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors took care of the Lakers 114-100. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. The Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
