For the second straight game, the Los Angeles Lakers got off to a slow start on the road. They fell behind by as many as 10 points in the first quarter, but it wasn’t without a few highlights from LeBron James.
Perhaps the best one to watch was one where James didn’t finish the play or record a stat, unlike Tuesday night’s win in Chicago. James unleashed a beautiful full-court outlet pass that found Rajon Rondo, who flipped it to JaVale McGee for the easy bucket.
After the Lakers rough start, they were able to close the gap on the Raptors to as low as one point. James also had a very nifty layup.
LeBron James had six points and three rebounds in the first quarter to lead the Lakers in scoring. The Lakers trail Toronto 33-25 after 1. Toronto’s Norman Powell led all scorers with 12 points.
