In the last game, the Lakers defeated the city-based rival Clippers, ending the team's four-game losing streak and breathing a sigh of relief! However, the Lakers' record is still bad, 18-19 is less than 5 percent, and the ranking is only 10th in the West, so for the Lakers, if they still want to enter the playoffs, there is still a long way to go!
The Lakers need to win, and after winning the Clippers, the Lakers ushered in a team with good strength, the Raptors now have a record of only 15 wins and 21 losses, and the performance is very average, but after the trade, the Raptors played quite well, winning 3 of the 4 games, even if they lost to the Kings, they had a 5-point regret loss, and they had a good chance of winning when they met the Lakers in this game.
At the beginning of the game, the competition between the 2 teams was very fierce, the thick eyebrows were strong inside, scoring frequently under the basket, James and Reaves also helped, but the Raptors blossomed more, Barnes, Sika, and Barrett launched a fierce attack, and the offensive momentum did not lose to the Lakers, and the 2 teams also launched a competition on the court! However, then the Raptors' offense fell into a dumb fire, and the Lakers seized the opportunity and played a 7-0 offensive to take the lead in the score! After that, the Lakers relied on this wave of offensive small climaxes to maintain the initiative and took a four-point lead in the first quarter.
Wood continues to score points on the inside and outside, Russell is also on the outside**, and the Lakers' second team continues to dominate on the court! Schroder hit the inside line to score points, Christie returned with 3 points, and the 2 teams went back and forth, fighting around the difference of about 5 points! However, in the stalemate, the Lakers' offense began to slip, and the Raptors' Sika, Barrett, and Quickley blossomed more points, playing a 17-7 offensive wave to turn the situation around, and successfully led by 2 points at halftime.
After the break, James began to break out, 3 points, mid-range shots, and breakthroughs continued to score points, and the thick eyebrows were unstoppable on the inside, but the Lakers also didn't have much to do with the Raptors' offense, so that Barnes and Sika turned the river and the sea, and the 2 teams were also Zion ur entanglements on the court, and the score difference never broke through 5 points, and the score was very dead, and anyone had the possibility of winning!
At the critical moment, thick eyebrows became the backbone of the Lakers, scoring 4 points with free throws, and capping off Barnes's layup to take the lead for the Lakers! However, the Raptors did not give up, and the team adopted foul tactics, but the Lakers' free throws were too accurate, and all 6 free throws were hit, which also made the Raptors' catch-up useless, and finally lost to the Lakers 131-132.
1 point narrowly won, the battle between the Raptors and the Lakers was very exciting, the two teams played at a high level and had a battle of points, but in the end the Lakers had the last laugh, especially the thick eyebrows, who dominated the game with their outstanding performance.

In addition to the thick eyebrows, the Lakers also had 6 people scoring double-doubles, among which James scored 22 points and 12 assists, and also played his role well!
The Raptors actually didn't play badly in this game, 7 people scored double-doubles, 4 people hit 20+, and many scoring points even surpassed the Lakers, and the team finally lost, which also caused a lot of controversy.
The controversy of the game occurred in the final quarter, the 2 teams fought fiercely, and the score was always tight, but after playing more than 4 minutes in the final quarter, the penalties on the court were obviously different, and the Lakers got a lot of free throw opportunities, and the entire final quarter, the Lakers' free throws were 23:2, 21 more than the Raptors, even if the tactical foul at the last moment was removed, the free throw ratio was an amazing 15:2, which made the Raptors very angry.
The Raptors head coach was even more furious after the game: If this game must be won by the Lakers, we can not play this game.
