The Raptors got out-rebounded 43-36 and the Lakers hit 54.8% from the floor.  It’s hard to win that way.

Chris Bosh had a good night with 20 points & 10 rebounds.  Mo Pete came off the bench and added 20 points and 5 rebounds.  TJ Ford directed the attack well with 13 points and 6 assists.  Fred Jones was very active with 12 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals.  Jorge Garbajosa started his first game of his career with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 steals.  Jose Calderon pitched in with 10 points off the bench.

The Raptors gave a good effort, but fall to 2-6 on the season.
