#NBANov 2 Open postTSN @tsnofficial.bsky.socialBlueskyLakers’ coach JJ Redick had some words on the officiating after their win over the Raptors 👀Nov 2 Open postMike Vorkunov @mikevorkunov.bsky.socialBlueskyThis is the hardest shot taken in the NBA over the last seven days, according to the league's new public facing shot difficulty data. Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett's jumper here against the Lakers had just a 6.5 expected FG%. He drained it.Nov 3 Open postAlex Kennedy @alexkennedynba.bsky.socialBlueskyOver the last 24 hours, Luka Dončić led the Lakers to back-to-back wins (over the Heat and Raptors) and totaled:

Will Dončić win his first MVP award this season?Nov 3 Open postEdwin Garcia @ecreates88.bsky.socialBlueskyIt got real dicey in the end, but the Lakers beat the Raptors 131-125. Luka Dončić ended the night with 45 points and 15 rebounds.Nov 1 Open postIztok Franko @iztokfranko.bsky.socialBlueskyToronto spent 48 minutes trying to wear the Lakers down. Luka spent them building his MVP case.
But behind the masterpiece were familiar problems: turnovers, rebounding, and those non-Luka minutes.
My game observations👇

Full recap 🏀⬇️ #Lakers #NBA
citychampsmedia.com/2026/11/01/d...Nov 2 Open postDillon @dillonnba.bsky.socialBlueskyBefore his Lakers debut, Walker Kessler hadn’t played an NBA game in 355 days.
Last night against the Raptors, his 7th game of the season, he became the 1st Lakers player in 45 years (Mitch Kupchak) to record 15+ points, 15+ rebounds, 3+ blocks, shooting 100% from the field.
And among his peers:Nov 2 Open postMichael Grange @michaelgrangenba.bsky.socialBluesky"There's not a lot of people on the planet that can do that" -- the Raps got the full Luka Doncic last night, and lost another game to a quality team. And in 3pt Grange: JJ Redick on Mamu & Mamu on the Raptors. From Los Angeles for Sportsnet: www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/...Nov 2 Open postVivek Jacob @vivekmjacob.bsky.socialBluesky20-5 Lakers run including triples from Reaves and Mamu force another Raptors timeout, 23-11 Lakers.
Scottie, RJ, IQ have a combined 3pts on 1/6 shooting and 5 turnovers... RJ also has 2 foulsNov 1 Open postDoug Smith @smithraptorsbeat.bsky.socialBlueskyLeft hip soreness lands Scottie Barnes in the "questionable" category for the Raptors-Clippers later tonight. Same as Jakob Poeltl with the shoulder bursitis that kept him out of Sunday's Lakers gameNov 2 Open postThuc Nhi Nguyen @thucnhi.bsky.socialBluesky"When he has it going, it’s like, pick your poison."
Is Luka Doncic's defensive impact also part of that equation now?? @latimes.com's Brad Turner on Luka's somehow normal "supernova" offensive night and "phenomenal" defensive performance www.latimes.com/sports/laker...Nov 2 Open postSteve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.socialBlueskyFeels like an early season deal but a couple times the Raptors have had Luka on Scottie Barnes and they still go with a pick and roll. Put Reaves and LaRavia in action. Lakers switch and stay in early help. You have to make quick decisions and make them make multiple effortsNov 1 Open postJosh Lewenberg @jlewenberg.bsky.socialBlueskyI think the Lakers figured out the Raptors don't have a rim protector...Nov 1 Open post
