After dropping the first two games of their road trip, the Los Angeles Lakers got back on track on Friday night with a 131-125 win over the Toronto Raptors to improve to 4-2 on the season.
The Lakers came out hot and jumped out to a 25-point lead at halftime, looking like their were about to cruise to a win over a shorthanded Raptors team that was missing Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynyk.
To the Raptors’ credit though, they fought back in the second half thanks to some poor play by the Lakers.
