The Los Angeles Lakers saw seven-game win-streak snap on Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies as Memphis also snapped a five-game losing streak as they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 105-88.
LeBron James returned to the court after missing Thursday’s game, finishing with 19 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in the loss. Anthony Davis had 15 points, nine rebounds and four assists in the loss while the Grizzlies got a major win as they look to hold on to the 8th spot in the Western Conference playoffs.
Ja Morant had a monster game with 27 points and 14 assists, while Jonas Valanciunas an even more monstrous performance with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Dillon Brooks, who hit LeBron in the face in the 4th quarter, had 24 points and five rebounds on nine of 24 from the field.
The only players off of the Lakers bench who scored in double-figure were Kyle Kuzma (10) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (11). Now the Lakers head to New Orleans on Monday for what should likely be another heated match-up against Zion Williamson and the Pelicans.
