Los Angeles' Austin Reaves chipped in 13 points
and 11 rebounds. Anthony Davis, who put up 34 points and 23
rebounds in a double-overtime win at Milwaukee on Tuesday, sat
out on Wednesday due to what the Lakers called a knee injury.
Davis played 52 minutes against the Bucks.
Desmond Bane led Memphis (24-49) with 26 points and 16 assists,
while Jake LaRavia scored 25 off the bench. Jaren Jackson Jr.
scored 17, and Lamar Stevens and Scotty Pippen Jr. each had 11.
GG Jackson scored 10 points for the Grizzlies, who have lost six
of seven games.
Building on their eight-point halftime lead, the Lakers opened
the second half on a 9-3 run, getting two 3-pointers from
Hachimura and one from Russell for a 78-64 advantage.
Pippen's free throw trimmed the Grizzlies' deficit to 83-70, but
a 15-1 Los Angeles run capped by a layup from James gave the
Lakers a 98-71 lead with 4:17 to go in the third quarter.
However, the Grizzlies finished the quarter on a 15-0 run, with
LaRavia's triple cutting the Lakers' lead to 102-92 heading into
the fourth.
The run continued on the first play of the final quarter, as
LaRavia hit another 3-pointer to trim the deficit to seven.
The Lakers then pulled away thanks to a 13-3 sequence, finished
with a pair of James free throws with 8:53 renaming.
Back-to-back triples from GG Jackson and LaRavia got the lead
down to 10 with 6:38 left, but a 7-0 Lakers run produced a
17-point lead with 5:08 remaining.
In the first quarter, Dinwiddie's triple at the 3:37 mark gave
the Lakers a 30-20 advantage before Memphis finished the quarter
on a 16-7 run.
Stevens' three-point play gave the Grizzlies a three-point lead
with 9:26 left in the half.
From there, the Lakers went on a 12-2 run, capped with James'
free throw with 5:09 remaining.
Stevens' jumper trimmed Los Angeles' lead to 65-59, but four
straight Reaves points gave the Lakers a 69-59 advantage with 54
seconds left. Jaren Jackson Jr.'s jumper cut Memphis' halftime
deficit to 69-61.
