The Toronto Raptors aren’t going away quietly, even without Kawhi Leonard.
If there has been a statement game so far from the Disney bubble, it happened Saturday night. The Raptors closed as a 2.5-point underdog to the Los Angeles Lakers at BetMGM, and beat the Lakers by 15. They outscored the Lakers 66-48 in the second half. The 107-92 win was impressive, especially after the Lakers beat the Los Angeles Clippers on the opening night of the restart.
Toronto’s win shouldn’t be dismissed, since it’s a continuation of their fine play from earlier this year.
