I asked Luka Dončić about how encouraging winning this back-to-back set vs. Toronto/Miami is after the disappointing loss to Golden State. “Of course, yeah. We believe in ourselves. We go into every game thinking we can win the game. We’re going to fight till the end.”

Redick says there is no minutes restriction for Williams, but based on the rest of the roster’s availability, Williams shouldn’t have to play heavy minutes in his return. Redick added that Thiero has been ramping up and could return to game action by the end of the week.
Ziaire Williams is off the injury report after missing the last three games because of left foot soreness. The Lakers will be close to full strength for the second night of the b2b vs. Miami

Story: It all feels “pretty normal” that Luka Dončić puts on shows of this quality on a nightly basis. On another “phenomenal” — as coach JJ Redick put it — display from the six-time All-NBA first teamer, this time in a victory over the Toronto Raptors: ocregister.com/2026/11/01/lu…

Why is Luka Dončić’s defensive reputation across the league what it is? “I don't know. Obviously, I'm not the best defender in the NBA, but I think this year I really took a step forward. … My team knows that I think I'm better this year. And that helps the whole team.”

Sandro Mamukelashivili’s Luka Dončić bobblehead is going in his office alongside bobbleheads of Tim Duncan and Manu Ginóbili, he said. Mamu on Dončić’s 45-points effort tonight: “Sometimes stuff he does is, like, unexplainable.”

How’s Luka Dončić finding his rhythm? “I think it’s pretty OK,” he said after scoring 45 points in the win vs. TOR. “As long as we win the game, I'm fine. But still, like I said, I didn’t play for 6-7 months, so I'm just trying to find that rhythm and it's getting better.”

JJ Redick said there were at least four instances in which players passed up open 3s, and he said he’s going to start pulling players out of the game if they pass up on those moving forward.

The Lakers emptied their bench to close out the game, but the back half of the roster just got waxed. Austin Reaves, who gave his headband to a fan, had to ask for it back to check back into the game

Final: Lakers 131, Raptors 125 LA improves to 5-2. An embarrassing close to the game undermined what had otherwise been a dominant performance. Luka had 45 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assist, 5 steals, and 1 block. Walker Kessler had 16 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks. Up next: vs. MIA tomorrow.

“I feel physically pretty good,” Lakers rookie Cameron Carr tells @ocregister of potentially making his NBA debut on Sunday. “I'm excited. Ready to get the nerves out, make one big play, do something good, get a deflection, get a steal, do something (to) get my body moving.”
