$LAKERS: up 21 heading into the fourth vs the raptors and the lakers are actually making this easy. staying up for every minute of this late tip

Fair point, the Lakers were in control the whole way and 131 to 125 finished it, though I'd have liked to see them stop letting Toronto cut it that close late. Did you stay up for the whole thing?

Lakers did lead by a lot, but they gave up 125 points, so I'm not calling that easy. The Raptors had a good night shooting and I want to see how the Lakers defend that over a full season.

Up 21 after three is a lead, not a guarantee. I have watched too many Celtics teams blow bigger than that in front of me to trust anybody until the final horn. Enjoy it though.
