With the Los Angeles Lakers looking to salvage some momentum on their four-game road trip that featured a gut-punch loss on a half-court buzzer-beater by the Chicago Bulls, Lakers coach JJ Redick
The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a disappointing loss against the Chicago Bulls but quickly rebounded with a win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach
The Los Angeles Lakers entered Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies having lost four of the previous five, but LeBron James used some forceful leadership to make sure the struggles didn't continue during the 134-127 victory.
The trio all filled up the statsheet and combined for 85 points, 21 rebounds and 25 assists in the victory. That was much-needed and head coach JJ Redick revealed after the game that he had a meeting with all three players the morning of the game to challenge them.
Lakers fans on social media have long joked about injured stars making their comebacks specifically against L.A., and Saturday’s game only fueled that narrative. Morant, who had missed Memphis’ previous six contests, returned to the lineup just in time to face the Lakers.
