Backlash Mounts Against Bronny James as Lakers Nearly Blow Massive Lead While JJ Redick Fumes vs. Raptors

The Los Angeles Lakers were very close to getting humiliated twice in two games. On Friday, they already endured a painful collapse against the Warriors. Last night, they nearly produced another, this time against the Toronto Raptors, when a comfortable fourth-quarter lead suddenly became a five-point game. JJ Redick had to bring his starters back to finish the job. Two turnovers in 43 seconds transformed a comfortable blowout into an emergency, triggering post-game consequences for Bronny James and the reserve unit. The Lakers eventually escaped with a 131-125 win. But the final stretch was anything but a painful watch.
