LOS ANGELES -- Whatever hope the Los Angeles Lakers had that a new month and returning to their home arena would be just what the team needed to spring back to life was dashed Friday night sometime around the Memphis Grizzlies' 20th 3-pointer of the night midway through the fourth quarter.
After ending the third quarter with the score tied, Memphis outscored L.A. by 14 in the fourth and won 127-113 to hand the Lakers their fourth straight loss.
The Lakers are now 17-19 -- 11th in the Western Conference and out of even play-in tournament contention -- less than a month after winning the league's inaugural in-season tournament.
