Five thoughts on last night: Raptors 111, Lakers 98
LeBron James’ ghost seemed to possess the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night, but the King himself couldn’t will his Los Angeles Lakers to victory on Monday, as the Toronto Raptors used every body on the roster to win 111-98.
LeBron showed flashes of all the horrible things he used to do to us, but his team is different (uh, worse) this year, and the Raptors are different (better!) this year, and that was enough on this night. On to the thoughts:
Nick Nurse has been referred to (often by himself!) as a mad scientist, and although he’s experimented with lineups (often to his team’s detriment, I think), I’m not sure he’d really earned the “mad” part of the moniker — until last night.
