Nothing like 2 heavyweights doing What They Do Best! For the love off of the sport – 5:21 PM

Guys: the LeBron/JJ Redick podcast is insanely, insanely good. Like, absurdly so. This video on court-mapping, processing, floor-spacing and how to create movement and how to manipulate defenses is brilliant.

GG Jackson was embracing his defensive assignment of guarding LeBron James. He said he was mad when James was calling for screens to create switches.
“Man, he doing that old head stuff.” – 11:23 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
LeBron James on if playing 41 minutes tonight will affect him for Sunday’s game in New Orleans and beyond: “I’ll be ready for Sunday.” – 11:18 PM

Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa
I know a win is a win, but nothing about tonight was encouraging. Did not seem like they cared about what was on the line. Every key player for Memphis is out and Lakers need Lebron & AD to play 40+ minutes. That was awful – 11:03 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Final: Lakers 123, Grizzlies 120
This was as ugly and concerning as a win could be at this stage of the season. But LA held on and improves to 46-35 to keep their goal of moving into the 7-8 game alive. AD had 36/14/5. LeBron had 37/10/5.
Up next: at the Pelicans on Sunday. – 10:33 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Lakers needed absolute MASTERPIECES from LeBron and AD to beat the Grizzlies by two possessions – 10:31 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James has scored the Lakers’ last six points — including a double-pump reverse dunk in his 41st minute — to give LAL a 123-118 lead with 5.2 seconds to go. – 10:31 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
LeBron collects the loose ball and finishes with the emphatic dunk in transition to put LA up by five, 123-118, with 5.2 seconds left. – 10:30 PM

Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
You truly never know what you’re going to get. This game has been GREAT. Four straight from LeBron to give the Lakers a three-point lead after losing it. Grizzlies ball. 16 seconds to play. – 10:28 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James makes two FTs with 15.5 seconds to go, putting LAL up 121-118 in MEM. Already been a wacky night in the NBA with the Spurs beating the Nuggets. – 10:28 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Bron still being able to do what he just did to Jake Laravia at 39 is nothing short of amazing – 10:14 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Third quarter: Lakers 98, Grizzlies 97
LA trailed for the middle five minutes of the third before regaining the lead late. AD has 28 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. LeBron has 25 points but more turnovers (7) than assists (4). A crucial 12 minutes coming up. – 9:53 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron really picked things up defensively and sparked a run here, as LAL trim what had grown to a 9-point deficit at the 4:42 mark.
Lakers now lead at the 2:00 mark after an AD jumper. – 9:48 PM

Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
LaRavia absolutely smothered by Lebron on the last possession, but earning that level of attention was a kind of victory. – 9:46 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
LeBron James is upping the intensity while guarding Jake LaRavia. The Grizzlies forward isn’t shying away and still wants the ball. The Lakers don’t want to lose this game but neither do these young Grizzlies. High-level hoops in Memphis right now – 9:39 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Lakers led by as many as 13 but take just a 68-64 lead into halftime against the heavily depleted Grizzlies. LeBron and AD have 15 pts apiece for LAL; GG Jackson and Jake LaRavia have 17 pts apiece for MEM – 9:08 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Halftime: Lakers 68, Grizzlies 64
Memphis outscored LA 38-34 in the second quarter. AD has 15 points and 6 rebounds. LeBron has 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura each have 10 points. Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson each have 17 points for MEM. – 9:08 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Everyone is talking about LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The real question is if the Grizzlies can slow down Rui Hachimura – 7:57 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Lakers’ starters in Memphis:
D’Angelo Russell
