With the Lakers’ top two centers out due to injury, head coach Luke Walton trotted out a variety of small lineups.
But what their lack in size hardly held them back, as the Lakers had three players reach double-doubles while dominating the rebound battle in their 108-103 victory over the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.
Despite the losses of Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Tarik Black (foot), the Lakers owned a 51-33 advantage in rebounds, including 17-5 on the offensive glass.
Julius Randle (18 points, 11 rebounds), Larry Nance Jr. (12 points, 14 rebounds) and Thomas Robinson (12 points, 10 rebounds) ceaselessly crashed the glass while becoming the first Lakers trio with a double-double in the same game since December 2014.
