After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Grizzlies 103-98. Lineup balance gave the Lakers a clear synergy edge. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
