The Lakers return home from Memphis having split the first two games on the road against the Grizzlies. Ultimately, the split is mission accomplished, particularly against a team who had only lost six games at home all season (the best home record in the league).
That being said, the obvious difference between Games 1 and 2 — other than Ja Morant being out with an undisclosed hand injury — was the Lakers’ offensive output. The team put up a massive 128 points in Game 1 (although the last six points were essentially in garbage time) and then followed that up with their lowest total of the season, a paltry 93 points in Game 2.
