LeBron James gets 2nd straight triple-double as Lakers dunk Raptors 123-103
LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James recorded his second straight triple-double, and Anthony Davis scored 22 points before leaving with an eye injury in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers‘ 123-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
Davis was hit in the face by Jakob Poeltl’s off hand while he blocked the Toronto centre’s dunk attempt with 5:16 left in the third quarter. The nine-time All-Star, who began the night leading the NBA in scoring, was ruled out after he went to the locker room.
James had 19 points, a season-high 16 assists and 10 rebounds in his third triple-double already this season and the 115th of his 22-year career.
Austin Reaves scored 27 points for the Lakers, who improved to 5-0 at home. Los Angeles also beat Toronto for the second time in nine days.
