Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers secured a narrow 132-131 victory over the Toronto Raptors, with Anthony Davis scoring 41 points and leading a thrilling game that saw the lead change hands 23 times. LeBron James also contributed 22 points, and the Lakers won consecutive games for the first time in over a month. Davis emphasized the importance of trusting all players to make plays and capitalize on open opportunities.
