Game 22 Lakers at Raptors

Raptors couldn't close out the game and break the Warriors' streak, losing the game 112-109. They are currenty 0-2 on this homestand and hope to turn that around as the Los Angeles Lakers make their only stop to TO this year

• This will be the last time Kobe Bryant will play at the ACC as a part of the Lakers. He has announced that he is retiring after 19 years in the league. I'm sure he'll be apart of the All Star festivities when Toronto hosts that in the new year, but from a regular season game perspective this is it for the Black Mamba.
• Lakers' guard Nick Young got himself ejected from yesterday's game against the Detroit Pistons after reacting angrily at a foul by Anthony Tolliver. No word that he has been suspended yet, but there are swirling rumours that Byron Scott plans to bench him anyway. Another take away is that the Lakers are on the 2nd game of a back to back. Raptors did not play yesterday
• A huge performance form Kyle Lowry against the Warriors that saw him put up a career high 44 points. That can't continue forever if we want this franchise to be successful. Other people need to contribute on a nightly basis. I have faith that they will.
