The Los Angeles Lakers continue to string together wins when they need them, and they have a lot more fight than they have shown in a couple of years.
On Friday, they hosted the Toronto Raptors, a team that has a mediocre record but possesses plenty of talent and always plays them tough. Los Angeles hadn’t defeated the Raptors at home since the 2014-15 season, back when Kobe Bryant was still its leading man.
