The Los Angeles Lakers got their seven-game winning streak snapped by the Memphis Grizzlies by a wide margin of 17 points. LeBron James got his numbers as he provided the team with 19 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds while Anthony Davis did 15 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Alex Caruso got his starting stint and finished with 9 points. Not much has been given by Avery Bradley in this game as hee just had 6 points in eight shots. Davis had only 24 minutes in this game and rumor has it that the Lakers wanted to face the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs and they gave the win to give them a cushion. That being said, they don’t want the Pelicans to be catching the Grizzlies and they will see to it that they will win this game at all costs.
