MEMPHIS – The overwhelming feeling increased as the Lakers’ roster size dwindled. So did the frustration over the officiating. And on a night where everything seemed in flux, the Lakers’ available options could not come together in crunch time.
The Lakers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, 103-100, on Saturday at FedEx Forum, ending a four-game trip that featured the team failing to rise to the moment.
On a night where he had only six points on 3-of-8 shooting and six rebounds, Lakers forward Julius Randle missed three foul shots that could have tied the game with 5.
