After Action Report

The Lakers pulled away from the Grizzlies 117-105. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
