Lowry added another pair of threes in the second half to bring his game total to 7; he actually failed to make a two point field goal in the game, but still led the team with 25 points. Kobe Bryant appeared to be getting prepared for the Los Angeles Lakers’ Sunday game against the Blazers when he missed the teams practiced as he had an ice bath. We should wait until February or March to see how he’s really feeling. The Lakers were outscored only by a point when he was on the floor.

Valanciunas just signed a fresh four-year deal with the Raptors to kick off the 2015-2016 season.
Kobe Bryant said Russell found his seams and attacked, but still has a lot to learn.
Rookie D’Angelo Russell agreed with his Lakers teammate.
“[I’m] just trying to teach them how to play championship basketball because it’s so easy for them to get the ball individually and attack”, Bryant said of the team’s first- and second-year players.
Scott disclosed via Los Angeles Daily News, “I’ll tell you what I did the other day, as far as relaying messages: I said there’s a couple of things you don’t want to be known as in this league”.
Get ready, it’s Bebe time. DeMar DeRozan, meanwhile, was MIA for most of the night, and the caterwauling about his play would still be heard if not for his lovely spinning lay-up to ice the game. “And that’s all a part of growing up”.
But the Lakers (2-10) did not rely on Randle, Russell and Clarkson to open the fourth quarter, a development that contributed to Toronto securing a 15-5 run for a 91-75 lead with 7:58 left. “We (Bryant and Scott) communicate constantly about it, so if my body feels OK I’ll play more, if it doesn’t, I won’t”. Metta World Peace hit a huge 3-pointer that cut Toronto’s lead to 6 with 4 minutes remaining.
Toronto eventually won the game to arrest their three-game skid, 102-91, over the LA Lakers. Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. The excitement for the present, joining those two with the 2014-15 breakout player, Jordan Clarkson, and a now healthy Julius Randle, buried beliefs about the Lakers being in the middle of a rebuilding project. He was immediately taken to task by Kyle Lowry, who checked in for him moments later.
“That’s for us in our locker room”, point guard Chris Paul said.
You must be looking to shoot when you get the basketball.
Raptors: G Norman Powell, who played four seasons at UCLA, spent the entire game on the bench in his first visit to Staples Center as a pro. He terms it as a “more settled” offense, as reported by Los Angeles Times, although there are different ways to approach the claim. Ahead of Tuesday’s game between the Lakers and Warriors in Oakland, the future Hall of Famer expressed mild optimism that his team could pull off what would be the biggest upset of the season. Valanciunas tallied 22 points and 11 rebounds. Still, five of the Raptors six losses this year have come on the road.
The Los Angeles Clippers look for a strong win to get a game above a. 500 record.
