Raptors – Dream humiliated the Lakers in LA
Incredibly, the Raptors came away 21-2, 24-4 in the first third, even hitting +28 in LA against the disappointing Lakers to eventually claim the win 114-103.
The Raptors became the last – until the next (?) – team to humiliate the Lakers. Because only what happened can be described as humiliation, with the Canadians prevailing much more easily than the Lakers’ final 103-114 shows in a match scored in the first…6 minutes of the match.
It may seem like an exaggeration, but it’s true that the Canadians “cut the legs off” the “Lakers” from the start, getting away with 2-21(!) and 4-24 in the first third, even picking the difference up to 28 points and finally on foot to defeat the… Ghost of the Lakers reaching.
Gary Trent was the winners’ top scorer with 28 points, Pascal Shiakam gained 27 points and Scotty Barnes gained 21 points.
For the Lakers, LeBron touched James and finished the game on 30 points, with Tyler Horton-Tucker adding 20 points and Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony adding 14 points each.
