Short-handed Lakers' losing streak grows with loss to Raptors
Anthony Davis played eight minutes before leaving the game with flu-like symptoms. The Lakers’ poor shooting and Donovan Mitchell’s 43 points sealed their loss to Cleveland.envisions his team, these kinds of absences merely will test the Lakers, not break them the way they did Wednesday.
Toronto led by as many as 27 before the Lakers closed the gap late with the game long decided. Dennis Schroder scored 18 points, Westbrook and Thomas Bryant each had 16, and Damian Jones had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet led the Raptors with 25 each. The Lakers’ late push to make the final score respectable represented a response to Ham’s halftime challenge to his players, too many of whom let their disappointment in a miss or a no-call bleed into the next handful of possessions and assignments.
Lakers’ Dennis Schroder shoots as Toronto Raptors’ Fred VanVleet watches during the first half on Wednesday in Toronto. “The totality of our group and the totality of our franchise and program needs to be built on being competitive and being together at all times,” Ham said. “And I just felt that wasn’t the case in the first half. But I said what I had to say and left them to it.”But forward Juan Toscano-Anderson, one of the players tasked with playing bigger minutes, had to leave the game after suffering a leg injury. He put no weight on his right foot as he was helped to the back.
