Hollywood is where dreams come true. Unless you’re the Raptors playing a game with Ben Taylor officiating.
Toronto could not overcome Anthony Davis and a large free-throw discrepancy as they fell 132-131 to the Los Angeles Lakers. Davis was an unstoppable force as he scored 41 points — on only 17 field goal attempts — to go along with 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 lead-preserving block in the final minute.
Los Angeles was also aided by the whistle. The Lakers shot 21(!!) more free throws than the Raptors in the 4th quarter. Overall, they attempted 36 free throws while Toronto took 13.
