After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Grizzlies 98-91. Lakers torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
