Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have cooled off a bit recently as they’ve lost three of their past four games and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting beaten by the Pistons in a disappointing 115-103 road defeat on Monday. Anthony Davis led the team with 37 points, nine rebounds, and four assists on 13 of 23 shooting, LeBron James added 20 points with eight rebounds and 11 assists while Austin Reaves chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Lakers shot 43 percent from the field and nine of 25 from the 3-point line as they started the game flat and quickly found themselves trailing by 20 points. The Lakers played decent defense to hold the Pistons to just 16 points in the third quarter to cut the deficit to just six points before the Pistons went on another run to pull away in the end.

Memphis Grizzlies

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies were aiming for a third straight win before they got stopped in their tracks by the Nets in a 106-104 loss on Monday. Zach Edey led the team with 25 points and 12 rebounds, Ja Morant tallied 25 points with nine assists, Jaren Jackson Jr tallied 15 points with two blocks, while Scottie Pippen Jr chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 47 percent from the field and eight of 30 from the 3-point line, but in a game that remained within single digits throughout, the game went down to the final shot and it was the Grizzlies’ Santi Aldama who missed on the potential game-winner at the buzzer. The Grizzlies will take on the Wizards, Trail Blazers, Lakers, and Warriors after this one.
