What happened
The Lakers rebounded from Friday’s blown 25-point lead with a 131-125 home win over Toronto, improving to 5-2 behind Luka Dončić’s 45-point night.
Dončić also added 15 rebounds, six assists and five steals, while JJ Redick’s late bench-heavy lineup let the Raptors trim a 14-point gap to 125-120.
LINEUP CONTEXT
Redick’s late substitution pattern left the closing rotation unsettled, so the Lakers’ bench usage and end-game lineup decisions remain worth tracking.
