On a court with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the best player in Saturday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors was Kyle Lowry. Lowry’s 33 points, 14 rebounds, six assists and the tone he set with physical defense set the Raptors on their way to yet another impressive display against the Lakers, wrapping up their season series against L.A. 2-0 with an average margin of victory of 12 points. With the loss, the Lakers still have some business to take care of as far as clinching the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference as the Los Angeles Clippers blew out the New Orleans Pelicans earlier in the day.
LeBron James had 20 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists while Anthony Davis had a rare anonymous night for him, as the Lakers leading scorer was held to just 14 points after posting a game-high 34 points in their win against the Clippers.
The Raptors set the tone for the game with a 13-0 run to begin the game but their consistency was what set them over the edge on Saturday night. In addition to Lowry, OG Anunoby scored 23 points and stood tall in the task of guarding LeBron James while Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam each scored in double figures.
