Coming off of arguably the most impressive tanking performance in modern history, the Memphis Grizzlies will host the Los Angeles Lakers for the fourth and final time this season. Two of the Grizzlies’ 19 wins this season came against the Lakers.
We’ll get into tonight’s game shortly, but first, let’s recap what happened Thursday night:
Yes, you’re reading that right: the Grizzlies, an alleged NBA team, lost to the Hornets, the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, by 61 points.
Fun fact: Kobe Bryant dropped 60 points on the Grizzlies 11 years ago on Thursday, his third straight 50-point game that season.
