Lakers Dominate Raptors 110-93 as James and Doncic Shine
The Los Angeles Lakers made a statement on the court, putting together a commanding 110-93 win over the Toronto Raptors. This victory marks just their second in seven games, but it comes at a critical moment before an intense eight-game, 15-day road stretch. The Lakers showed the kind of form fans had been waiting for, led by Luka Doncic and LeBron James, both delivering performances that reminded everyone why they’re at the top of the game.
Doncic returned after missing the Lakers’ loss in Portland, contributing 25 points and seven assists, including five successful three-pointers. LeBron, pushing through back-to-back games this week at 41 years old, added 24 points and seven assists, providing the steady veteran presence that kept Los Angeles in control. Deandre Ayton stole the spotlight with a flawless return from a knee injury, scoring 25 points and grabbing 13 rebounds while making all ten of his shots—the highest-scoring game for him since early November.

Toronto Raptors started strong, with Scottie Barnes adding 22 points and nine rebounds and Brandon Ingram contributing 19 points and seven assists. Sandro Mamukelashvili also chipped in 20 points.

Back-to-back buckets from LeBron pushed the Lakers ahead 91-80 and Los Angeles then scored nine straight points while holding Toronto scoreless for over three minutes, sealing the win decisively.
The game highlighted some ongoing storylines. Doncic picked up his 12th technical foul of the season, second most in the NBA, underscoring his fiery competitive edge.
