Los Angeles Lakers vs Toronto Raptors Full Highlights 1st QTR | Jan 9 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

They’re going to let the defense dictate how much is too much if they send the double teams of course they’re going to be able to get some open looks but I look for them to go inside to Anthony the same as usual well steu it’s a big

Game because you’ve got to build on that win you got to validate that win against the Clippers against a team that is under 500 and they come out that they being the Raptors was a designed play and they ran it to Perfection got some good players got

Some scores on his Raptor team they may not be done dealing though the trade deadline’s about a month away ad he’s being guarded there by cakam and AD the little jump Hook is good as they were up against the clock a little bit well Anthony Davis knew the clock took his

Time got to his Zone and scored rather easily Scotty Barnes who’s quietly having one of the best years in the NBA from anybody and that’s going to be thrown in he he can be very difficult to handle especially when get some mismatches with people he’s one of the three players in

The league averaging 285 and a block the other two are Joel embiid and Yannis and ten counted and one pick and roll what a pass though by the the other night big three-pointer by tan late then they had to survive Norman Powell’s three-point attempt uh and the Lakers St they did

Not come out well in that game either they had 19 in the first quarter but fought back from it yeah well that’s what they have to continue to do not come out I’m not talking about coming out the way they did but just fighting back is obviously the key Bar’s going to

Try a three in there Scotty Barnes and when Scotty Barnes is hitting that shot things are going right for the ref he’s a 38% three-point shooter Austin reeds in the starting lineup course he’s been in and out of that all seon long Bo they’re really going down low to ad poran can

Hit and here is Barrett boy Barrett had himself a game the other night you know he wasn’t shooting it well with the Knicks but the small sample SI yeah that’s turnover there on out of bounds play there RJ Barrett Toronto’s low water mark eight under 500 six below right now

Go sa one three out of four Rees Bo he has not shot the three well recently going back a few games now doing a lot of other things really well just not shooting the three zakum got it off the glass is a he’s an offensive guy he

Really gets after you know he deceptive on the defensive end you know you can’t attack him cuz he plays decent defense in the corner boy reddish has found his offensive touch again Ste yeah and he’s a corner standel shooter there he get from either side that’s where he goes in

Their half court sets he’s now five out of seven the last two plus games from three is Cam reddish he’s near his 2000th point of his career L baby finish from LeBron I just love to watch two guys that have such intelligence for the game Run two-man game makes it look so easy

LeBron in the top 10 in assists in the NBA this year sometimes goes on look for the alltime leing score yakam has really shot the three well not that time out of bounds Toronto another look at that play where LeBron and AD hook up again just throw

It up and let ad do the rest Court recognition is the name of the game coming into this one last half dozen seak from three shooting 60% prior to that though he had a six game stretch where he shot about 24% so it comes and it goes that’s off

The leg they say play on with five on the clock shots going to be from the outside long shot long rebound Reeves has it for the black plaid Lakers trm in gold and purple Rees stops got his man in the air did not get the contact Rish now from

The other side ter ball yeah nothing but air here’s quickly we just saw him of course couple of weeks ago with the Knicks seak they go two guys short rebound LeBron that’s a good challenge on the shot by seak oh James open again is reddish he give it up though to LeBron

Underneath there’s a again he is third in the NBA in dunks he now has 83 on the season and Toronto wants to talk it over a little bit again LeBron finding the right angle to make the pass on the inside ad with a pretty nice seal job

And gets an easy deuce and with 746 to go the Lakers go up by three hope he’s doing well Anthony Davis off to a very nice start he made all four of his attempts Barnes holding out on top little shake and bake by quickly drive to the hole all the way

Laying up and in nice play by thus yeah time Anthony Davis stepped out a little soon trying to help on the dribble guy and that’s why fatty has got the angle LeBron right wing sees a little daylight good pass again for Davis having his way so far in the game and

That combo works again only two guys that scored for the Lakers Anthony Davis and cam reddish Anthony Davis at the bulk of him 11 seak guarded by redish he did a good job on Kawai the other tonight one of the reasons why the Lakers won the game quickly the little Runner so interesting

To see quickly he’s not playing as hectically as he did with the Knicks when he came in with the Knicks he was he just really really really fast now he’s the lead leader at that point guard position and he’s he’s settled himself down a bit it’s nice to see re from the

Free throw line oh by the way the Knicks with OG an anobi one again tonight they are undefeated since the trade so so far it’s a trade that’s worked well for both teams that’s what bar Scot Barnes yeah that’s what Barnes can do boy he is tough on the offensive

Glass he had a career-high 32 in his last game against the Lakers ad trying to force his way in on thus young playing for his seventh franchise they’ve got numbers going the other way with ad slow to get up Corner Barrett RJ the Canadian underneath can’t score

Oh he was right there the Lakers fortunate we pass the halfway mark of the first quarter glad you’re with us on Spectrum Sports Net AB again that’s his third dunk of the game how do they lose track of Anthony Davis he was on the weak side all all by himself I don’t

Know where his assigned man was but he wasn’t close [Applause] enough mak’s got a guard out on the perimeter these Raptors will let it fly for sure there seak just inside the line that dips in comes out rebounder Reeves going to get it right back from LeBron

In the attacking 47 ft ad how many touches has he had here in the first seven minutes it’s a good thing Reeds the runner little floater by Austin Reeds as he puts the Lakers up again by three he’s been in single digits two of the last five after 13 straight in double figures

Young that’s off the back iron good box out by Prince toring can do more than just shoot threes but of course he had the huge three late against the Clippers that helped seal it LeBron comes out the other side Toronto long lead Here Comes balaka counted and

One let’s hope he’s all right I think he anticipated a little bit more

  1. lakers is playing lousy, this gamne is a loss., winnable yet loss becuse of bad rotation of player, always sticking on lebron and davis insted of pssing the bll to pg, he loss the ball

  2. lebron is just watching the game, no desire to win. davis is taking the ball outside , instead of him posting on the low post. in the paint . the coach is silent, he again has no idea.

  3. Lakers have the help of the refs. Refs obviously got paid for the Lakers-Raptors game. Lakers have help. Too much money in sports. Sports betting is killing the game.

  4. What an awful game for the Lakers even though they ended up winning by 1 point!! And here’s the thing – I passed on watching it on league pass. I just kept checking “gamecast” on ESPN. The last 6 minutes was just exchanging baskets with Toronto- where’s the defense??!! And the Toronto coach played the ugly take foul game hoping Lakers miss – but luckily they didn’t!!
