If there was some question as to how seriously the Raptors took Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers, the team’s lineup in the second quarter provided an answer. Down Serge Ibaka (due to suspension), Kyle Lowry (thanks to a modest ankle injury), and Fred VanVleet (almost back from his thumb surgery), Toronto trotted out a lineup of Norman Powell, Patrick McCaw, OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, and Chris Boucher for a few minutes. This, against a LeBron James-led team.
