The host Toronto Raptors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 113 - 80, at Air Canada Center on Friday. The Raptors came into this game as a sizable favorite and they left no doubt with this result. In fact, Toronto pulled out the rare wire - to - wire win, as they dominated from start to finish. The second quarter is when it really fell apart for Los Angeles, as they allowed Toronto to drop 41 points, as they trailed by 21 headed into the half. The assist - to - turnover ratio was a huge difference, with Toronto recording 25 assists to 10 turnovers, while Los Angeles matched their turnovers and assists at 16 a piece. The Raptors shot 54 percent from the field, while the Lakers shot just 34 percent. Los Angeles (10 - 11) has been regressing over recent weeks and this was a tough task north of the border. The bench was the only thing keeping them around, as Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams both scored in double figures yet again. They did struggle shooting though, as Williams went 4 - of - 14 on his way to 13 points and Clarkson went 4 - of - 15 for 14 points. Brandon Ingram was the lone starter in double figures, as he totaled 17 points and six rebounds in the defeat. Julius Randle finished with eight points and eight rebounds in just 22 minutes. The Lakers will have to play again on Saturday, as they face the Memphis Grizzlies on the road. Toronto (13 - 6) has now won five - straight games and are scoring at will. In fact, they are averaging just shy of 120 points a game in that span. The Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan duo once again carried the load. Lowry tallied 24 points, four rebounds and seven assists, while DeRozan finished with 16 points, four rebounds and six assists. Norman Powell started for DeMarre Carroll and accrued 16 points and seven rebounds as a nice fill - in small forward. Cory Joseph and Lucas Nogueira combined for 27 points on 12 - of - 15 shooting off the bench. Toronto will remain at home, as they host the struggling Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.
