After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers snuck past the Grizzlies 104-102. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
