I have Kings vs. fan-favorite Kings at Raptors Turkey because duh, (disclosure I write for them sort of, opinion is my own) Here are the top performances from this game Lakers VS Raptors .
First Half Highlights OF Lakers VS Raptors
Both teams opened the game unable to free the bucket from the basket. LeBron James readiness, aggressiveness on the floor, attacking the basket and making the passes → And size/experience of the Lakers Suitor: Anthony Davis was a defensive monster, blocking shots, snatching boards. The Raptors responded, of course, with a mini-three-point barrage of their own as well as some clean opportunities for area shooters Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam.
Second Half Surge Lakers VS Raptors
Despite the fact that there was less than 20 minutes remaining in the game, and the stakes could not be higher. The Clippers busted the game open with a third-frame flurry, creating early transition opportunities and putting the Nuggets in uncomfortable positions on the other end. After that, it turned into an offensive barrage that the Raptors had no response for and Russell chipped in a few more baskets along the way. The third was a bit of a grind with Siakam getting empty but Toronto came right back in the fourth with Siakam again writing a clinic on that elbow drive-and-finish move.
Key Players Lakers VS Raptors
You can count on LeBron James pretty much the same in scoring, assist and rebound as well.
Fully terrifying on and off the ball and all the way to the playoffs was key to the Lakers’ success: Anthony Davis
Phil: Fred VanVleet: He keeps the Raptors afloat with shooting and playmaking.
Conclusion
The character and class of both sides were evident. Raptors are going to be a problem this year, but Lakers got the win. Here’s
Final Score
Lakers: 112
Raptors: 105
