After Action Report
The Raptors snuck past the Lakers 94-89. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
