The Lakers were as whole as they have been in a while Sunday, giving coach JJ Redick more weapons at his disposal at a time when their schedule has picked up the pace.

They got star guard Luka Doncic, center Deandre Ayton and backup center Jaxson Hayes back against the Toronto Raptors at Crypto.com Arena. Only Austin Reaves (left calf strain) remained sidelined.

Moreover, it was a back-to-back game that even LeBron James played in a night after the Lakers lost in Portland.

Simply put, the Lakers are a sound team when healthy and really good when Doncic, James and Ayton all score at least 20 points like they did in a 110-93 victory in which they held the Raptors to their second-lowest point total this season.

The Lakers entered the game having lost five of six and had surrendered more than 130 points in their last two losses.
