Coming off of a tough loss last night against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Raptors had to continue this road trip by heading across town to Crypto.com Arena to face the Lakers.
Going in to this one, Anthony Davis held the league lead for scoring at a remarkable 32.4 points per game. Combined with superstar forward LeBron James, the duo are fighting to keep their Lakers alive in the playoff picture in the west, with a 5-4 record.
Toronto, on the other hand, were 2-8 and had dropped three straight. Already not projected to finish too high in the standings this season and now missing four key players, the Raptors had their work cut out for them on night four of a five game road trip.
