The Toronto Raptors entered Thursday’s game coming off one of their most embarrassing losses of the season. They had something to prove and an injury-plagued Los Angeles Lakers were the perfect follow-up opponent.
LeBron James has not been the Raptors Boogie Man this season. After turning the city into LeBronto in last year’s playoffs, he returned with a far inferior team. On this night he still managed to rack up 29 points, six assists, and four rebounds. He was the game’s leading scorer.
In the other end, the Raptor’s star, Kawhi Leonard, had a strong night of his own.
