There have been a lot of questions about Los Angeles Lakers’ defense throughout most of this season. Despite having one of the most versatile defensive weapons the NBA has ever seen in Anthony Davis, the Lakers have struggled mightily to contain teams all year long.
That wasn’t the case on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies, however, as the Lakers held one of the West’s best teams to just 39.2% shooting and 32.1% from 3-point range in their six-point victory. The Lakers also got 27 points off of 20 Grizzlies turnovers and held All-Star Ja Morant to just 20 points on 6-of-21 from the field.
