Grading every Lakers player’s performance from the team’s 136-124 win over the Grizzlies.
The Lakers had a couple of defensive lapses allowing the Grizzlies to have some hope for a comeback, but in general, the Lakers cruised to victory and dominated most of the game.
The win was impressive not only because it was the team’s second road victory in a row, but because they did it with Anthony Davis missing the game due to a left knee hyperextension.
Los Angeles is now rolling and has won five straight and are just two games behind the Phoenix Suns. They have the ..read more

Grading every Lakers player’s performance from the team’s 150-145 win over the Pacers.
What a drastic change of how to start a road trip all in one game. For three quarters of Tuesday’s contest, the Lakers looked lost at sea without LeBron James. The offense was non-existent in the opening 12 minutes and playing catch-up resulted in every Lakers run being answered by the Bucks.
But with one really big fourth quarter push, they got back into the game and eventually earned one of the best wins of the year. And that’s saying something because the last meeting ag ..read more

Being one of the ..read more
