The Los Angeles Lakers have not looked like themselves recently. They entered Sunday’s game against the Toronto Raptors losing five of their last six games.

Luka Doncic returned to the Lakers lineup after missing Saturday’s game due to left groin soreness. Still, if LA wanted to get back to their winning ways, they’d need to get help from someone other than Doncic and LeBron James.

The most impressive part was that Ayton shot a perfect 10-10 from the field. Ayton had help as well. Doncic scored 25 while LeBron added 24 points.
