A couple of aggressive downhill finishes from LeBron got the Lakers’ offense momentarily out of the mud. Taurean Prince’s 3-pointer — in part due to the Raptors subsequently collapsing on the rim — has them back within two. Timeout Raptors with 5:05 left in the third quarter. – 12:05 AM

I know body language isn’t supposed to be a thing but if it was I’d say LeBron James doesn’t seem very happy with his teammates, who (other than AD) seem to keep missing passes — both catching and making — and missing shots. Lakers still lead 35-32. – 11:15 PM

Predictably, Anthony Davis has been a problem. He’s got 16 points on 7-9 FG, scoring or assisting on 23 of the Lakers’ 28 first-quarter points. Raptors hanging in, though, only down 4 after 1Q. Siakam and Barnes combined for 15 points. LeBron is scoreless but has 5 assists – 11:08 PM

Carlisle postgame: “We got to rebound better, we got to contest shots better. This is a unique team with the way they rise up from 3 and Tatum had a big night. They’re easy shots for him.

Mazzulla has seen substantial progress from Tatum, stressing that he has developed “exponentially” over the past month. “The patience that he’s playing with on drives, his potential-assist average, his screening, his ability to know that he needs his teammates to make him better,” Mazzulla said. “I think he’s learning not to be defined by shooting. He’s being defined by his rebounding, his defense, his communication, his screening. He’s being defined by his ability to understand that he needs the people around him if he’s going to achieve what we want to achieve.” -via Boston Globe / January 7, 2024
