The Toronto Raptors play hosts to the Los Angeles Lakers with an agenda. They’re hoping tonight is the game they end their streak of five losses to the Purple & Gold. The last time the Raptors won against the Lakers was in 2022. Luka Doncic didn’t make the trip to welcome his second child with his fiancee. So Austin Reaves carried the charge. After their seven-game winning streak was snapped in an embarrassing fashion, AR carried the team. The Lakers won 120-123 while LeBron James lost something big.

Lakers vs Raptors: Game summary and key moments
No one was sure how the game was going to go without Luka Doncic in the Lakers lineup. The Raptors and Lakers remain undefeated in NBA Cup play and strong contenders for the midseason title. The Raptors wanted to stop losing to the Lakers and the Lakers wanted to erase the memory of their embarrassing loss to the Suns.
LEBRON SACRIFICED HIS 10-PT STREAK FOR THE GAME WINNER 🤯😱

The Lakers win came with an individual loss to LeBron James. With eight points tonight, his streak of consecutive 10+ point games ends with 1,297 games across 18 years. Austin Reaves tied the game with a floater and Bron had the last possession. He could’ve made a two and finished with 10 points at least. Instead, James passed the ball to Rui Hachimura who made the game-winning three.
Without Luka, it was another phenomenal game of Austin Reaves taking charge. He had a game-high 44 points, going 13-for-21 from the field and 5-for-11 from the arc, which was game-high too. Deandre Ayton scored 17 points and had eight rebounds. Jake LaRavia had 14.
On the Raptors end, Brandon Ingram had the opportunity to make the game-winning shot but came up short. He finished the game with 20 points. Scottie Barnes had a double-double 23 points and 11 rebounds. JaKobe Walter scored 17 points, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Immauel Quickley had 13 each, and rookie Collin Murray-Boyles contributed 12 points.
After the Phoenix defense left them ‘confused,’ the Lakers were still lacking in defensive rebounds, steals and blocks. They kept their turnovers down to 11 but it’s still too many.
The Lakers are now heading to Boston to take on their old nemesis tomorrow. The Raptors host the Hornets tomorrow.
