Still recovering from an impressive start to the season, the Lakers were a defensive disaster and a poor offense. Although they still have defensive details to work out, the Lakers’ offense is now starting to play as expected, with Anthony Davis performing at a fantastic level of late,
LeBron James was a bit unwell for a while, but he’s better now, and that’s also important in the offensive comeback: They’re averaging 114.8 points per game. Still, they haven’t figured out their efficiency on long-range shots, as their 33.0 percent three-point shooting ranks sixth-worst in the league.
This season, the Raptors have struggled to stay consistent. It is mainly because of how differently they play at home and away; for example, they have won nine of their last 12 games at Scotiabank Stadium while losing nine of their last 12 out games.
Canada’s success this season has been based on the seventh-best defense in the league, allowing 109.5 points per game. That’s useful given how sluggish they are offensive, averaging 110.9 points per game, with Paskal Siakam leading the way with 24.2 points, 7.1 assists, and 8.9 rebounds.
The Los Angeles Lakers have had a great moment, but this will be their fourth straight road game, and they have to play without a break from Cleveland the previous day to be at a different level.
The Raptors realized they had to take advantage of those details since they were rested yesterday and will be playing at home. Despite losing a game recently, they have been dominant, with a solid defense and a more efficient attack.
The Raptors’ suffocating defense to suffer on the Lakers’ tired legs and an offense led by Siakam and Fred VanValet should be able to hold up against a visiting team that isn’t among the best. Defense works.
