After starting off their first road trip with back-to-back losses, the Los Angeles Lakers looked to get back on track on Friday night north of the border when they took on the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors have been hit by a bunch of injuries early in the season and are not projected to compete this season, making it a very winnable game for the Lakers. They were ultimately able to take care of business, earning a 131-125 victory to improve to 4-2 on the young season.
The Lakers jumped out to a quick 7-0 start in this one, forcing a Raptors timeout after LeBron James connected from deep and Austin Reaves and Anthony Davis each scored inside.
