After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Grizzlies upended the Lakers 88-85. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
