Coming off a devastating loss to the Chicago Bulls on a half-court buzzer-beater, the Los Angeles Lakers had to flush that away as they concluded their road trip with a very important matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Grizzlies: Marvin Bagley III (concussion protocol) and Ja Morant (left hamstring strain) are questionable. Brandon Clarke (right knee PCL sprain) and Zyon Pullin (right patellar tendon surgery recovery) are out.

The Lakers needed a win over the Grizzlies like a fish needs water, so it’s a good thing they got it done. It was a tough game with eight different lead changes, but the Lakers pulled away midway through the fourth and never looked back.
