The Raptors (13 - 9) escaped the Lakers (3 - 18) with a 102 - 93 victory at Air Canada Centre on Monday. Los Angeles trailed by just a point after the third quarter, but Toronto was able to pull away with five minutes remaining in the game to end a two - game losing streak. The Raptors got plenty of contributions in the fourth quarter, but the guy who carried them all game was Terrence Ross, who scored a season - high 22 points (8 - 12 FG, 4 - 6 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) over 39 minutes while also grabbing six rebounds. Kobe Bryant had a decent night shooting the ball as he continues his farewell tour, scoring 21 points on 8 - of - 16 shooting with eight boards and four assists. Larry Nance Jr. replaced Julius Randle in the starting lineup, but failed to outperform him. Randle scored 15 points (6 - 13 FG, 3 - 3 FT) with 11 rebounds for his fifth double - double in six games. The other youngster moved to the bench was rookie D'Angelo Russell, who was replaced by Louis Williams alongside Jordan Clarkson in the backcourt. Russell played 21 minutes off the bench, scoring nine points on 4 - of - 12 shooting from the field. Nick Young was held out of the lineup again by coach Byron Scott. After suffering two close losses to the Nuggets and Warriors - - each at home - - the Raptors got back on track, albeit barely, against the Lakers. With center Jonas Valanciunas sidelined with a fractured hand, Bismack Biyombo has seen a bump in playing time, and finally made it count Monday. Biyombo finished with a season - high 15 points (4 - 8 FG, 7 - 11 FT) with 13 rebounds and two blocks over 29 minutes. Kyle Lowry was his usual self, scoring a game - high 27 points 9 - 19 FG, 5 - 11 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) with seven rebounds and six assists. The Raptors will have their hands full Wednesday when the Spurs come to town; the Lakers play the sixth game of an eight - game road trip against the T-Wolves.
