IT WAS OVER WHEN
Kyle Lowry capped off a spectacular fourth-quarter performance by hitting two free throws with 23.3 seconds remaining to put the Raptors ahead by nine. After dropping their previous two games, the Raptors collected a 123-114 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers thanks to a massive night from the backcourt.
Shortly before game time the team announced that Patrick Patterson would miss the game with a strained left knee. Patterson sustained the injury in Toronto's loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.
UP-AND-DOWN FIRST HALF
There was a lot of scoring and not a lot of defending going on in the first half in Los Angeles.
