LeBron joking about Christian Wood’s improved play recently: “That man only care about a bucket. So when he gets in a rhythm, when he gets in rhythm and he knows he’s going to play, C-Wood cares about buckets. That’s C-Wood. … But you ask C-Wood. C-Wood’s all about a bucket.” – 2:29 AM

It wasn’t pretty, but I don’t think that matters right now. Long way to go for this team, but that’s 2 in a row

Big 3’s from Davis, his 2nd, and LeBron, his 2nd as well, to tie the game at 105, to counter an offensive push from the Raptors.
Davis is up to 26 points on just 14 shots (11 makes), and LeBron 22 points with 11 assists. – 12:37 AM

D’Angelo Russell has only played 13 minutes in three quarters and outside of Bron and AD, he’s the biggest reason the Lakers aren’t trailing by double digits right now. The pendulum has swung way too far in the other direction here. Despite his flaws he’s a damn good player. – 12:22 AM

A couple of aggressive downhill finishes from LeBron got the Lakers’ offense momentarily out of the mud. Taurean Prince’s 3-pointer — in part due to the Raptors subsequently collapsing on the rim — has them back within two. Timeout Raptors with 5:05 left in the third quarter. – 12:05 AM

Only 2 field goal attempts for Davis since the 1st Q, when he hit 7 of 9 shots.
Raptors have focused more defensive attention his way, but he’s not touching the ball much as the starters continue to struggle as a unit.
TOR led 70-62 before an and-1 from LeBron in transition. – 12:02 AM

I know body language isn’t supposed to be a thing but if it was I’d say LeBron James doesn’t seem very happy with his teammates, who (other than AD) seem to keep missing passes — both catching and making — and missing shots. Lakers still lead 35-32. – 11:15 PM

Predictably, Anthony Davis has been a problem. He’s got 16 points on 7-9 FG, scoring or assisting on 23 of the Lakers’ 28 first-quarter points. Raptors hanging in, though, only down 4 after 1Q. Siakam and Barnes combined for 15 points. LeBron is scoreless but has 5 assists – 11:08 PM
