The Los Angeles Lakers lost 131-114 at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night in a game that was never particularly close. The Lakers tried to hold their own despite missing Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura, Chirstian Wood and Jarred Vanderbilt, but it was always going to be an uphill battle against a motivated Grizzlies team.
Without Davis, the Lakers defense obviously struggled. But it wasn’t much better on the offensive side, as the Lakers shot 44.1% from the field and 31.3% from beyond the arc. Outside of LeBron James, no one was able to get going.
