Lakers-Grizzlies recap: LeBron James down epic finishing dunk in win

After going to overtime in their last three games, the Los Angeles Lakers gave themselves the mercy of avoiding an extra period on Friday night as they delivered a brutal second half blow to the Memphis Grizzlies, 115-105. The Grizzlies dominated the Lakers in the first half but L.A. used a dominant 41-23 third quarter to hold serve at home and extend their current win-streak to seven games.

LeBron James had the finishing touches on the night with a big dunk after the Lakers had already wrestled control of the game. While James had 28 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists, Anthony Davis had the bigger statistical night for the Lakers as he led all scorers with 35 points.
