The Lakers blown by the Raptors at home after a frightening start to the match

After the Los Angeles Lakers expected to fall early in the season, head coach Luke Walton's criticisms naturally began to surface.

If we look at the appearance of the Lakers Sunday night against the Toronto Raptors, Johnson may have spoken too soon.

Kawhi Leonard did not even play. The Lakers, who scored only 17 points in the first quarter, became the first team in the last 20 seasons follow 30 points or more in the first quarter at home.

It was so bad.

Toronto had a 71-49 lead at half-time, and not a single Laker had scored twice. They also had no answer for Raptors forward Serge Ibaka, who lost 26 points, including 20 in the first quarter, and was 11-11 out of 11 in the first period.

While the Lakers had reduced the points to 12 points in the fourth quarter, the difficulties of the first half were simply too difficult to overcome. The Raptors recorded a 121-107 win, behind Ibaka's 34 points and 10 rebounds and Kyle Lowry's 21 points and 15 assists.

Kyle Kuzma led the Lakers with 24 points in the loss, shooting 10 out of 16 of the field. James finished with 18 points, six assists and two rebounds.
