Toscano-Anderson made only one shot in the opening quarter against the Lakers, but it was a big one. He knocked down a 3-pointer from the wing to put Golden State up 28-21 with 46.2 seconds remaining in the frame. As he turned around to head back on defense, he let the Staples Center crowd know it was time to quiet down.
