And the Lakers lost again! lol the best recruiter in the looks like he's going to for a new talent coz their bigs are useless

Should've taken Cousins for that 10 day contract and tried him out. Now Nuggets will be have a stronger defender below the rim.

Lakers streak was broken and this tells they are not the caliber we are expecting, yet. It could've ended worse in a blowout game at 20 points upward of a lead from the Grizzlies but thanks to the 2nd team led by Austin Reeves it was cut down creating a 17-0 run. They thought it was over but he pumped the fans in Crypto.com Arena by giving them hope. I thought Frank Vogel is going to switch to his stars but thank God he didn't. Those guys deserves to stay in the game and finish it on their own.

I expected this to be an even matchup but seems like the Grizzlies are far better than them.
If you look at both the squads, the Lakers are stacked with top-tier star players but they lack a whole lot of chemistry.
But if you look at the Grizzlies, they play really well as a team and it shows on the court. As always LeBron had a great match - scores 35 points but he didn't get the support he needed from his teammates. This is very disappointing, they need to fix what's wrong asap.

If you look at the distribution of points between the two teams, the Grizzlies did a great job compared to the Lakers.
For the Grizzlies, they have the following playing with a big contribution.

Jackson Jr. 21
Anderson 14
Morant 16
Bane 23
Konchar 12
Clarke 14..

While the LA Lakers, only a few players scored a double-digit.

James 35
Reaves 16
Horton-Tucker 13
Ellington 16

West "broke" 6 points. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
