Mandatory Credit: Jonathan Hui-Imagn Images Anthony Davis scored 22 points and LeBron James added 19 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds as the Los Angeles Lakers rallied for a 123-103 victory over the visiting Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
Davis' point total came in 26 minutes before he departed with an eye injury in the third quarter after he was swiped across the face when he blocked a shot attempt by the Raptors' Jakob Poeltl. James recorded his second consecutive triple-double, third of the season and 115th of his career.
Austin Reaves scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half and D'Angelo Russell added 15 as Los Angeles won consecutive home games after completing a 1-4 road trip. Cam Reddish scored 11 points in his second game in the starting lineup after Russell was moved to the second unit and Jaxson Hayes had 12 points.
Chris Boucher and RJ Barrett each scored 18 points and Ochai Agbaji added 16 for the short-handed Raptors, who were without Scottie Barnes (orbital fracture), Garrett Temple (back) and Kelly Olynyk (back).
Poeltl, who had 10 rebounds, and Gradey Dick each scored 14 points, and Immanuel Quickley added 12 points. The Raptors outrebounded the Lakers 40-33.
The Raptors got off to a fast start, leading by five points less than three minutes into the game and taking a 34-26 advantage at the end of the first quarter. Toronto led by as many as 10 points in the second quarter before the Lakers cut their deficit to 55-53 at halftime.
Toronto was up 77-72 with 3:59 remaining in the third quarter before Los Angeles closed the period on a 16-5 run to take an 88-82 advantage into the fourth.
Los Angeles pulled away in the final quarter to win its sixth consecutive game over Toronto.
The Lakers had just four turnovers in the first half and finished with five in the game.
