The Lakers were humiliated this Sunday night, at least the starting 5 against the Grizzlies. A terrible time, especially at home. LeBron James is the only one who has attempted anything, despite having had a tense streak with an opponent.
In good shape with 4 straight wins, the Lakers weren’t completely healed. We just got confirmation this Sunday evening, since Frank Vogel’s men collapsed against the Grizzlies, all at home. The final score? 127-119.
It doesn’t sound like that, but the Angelinos were 28 points behind with a major 5 completely overwhelmed. The small gap is possible thanks to the players from the bench, who stalled a 36-20 in Memphis in the last 12 minutes, even forcing Ja Morant and company to return to the court to secure the victory.
LeBron James dropped by his teammates!
LeBron in all of that ? 35 points at 14/19 shooting, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Among the other holders, no one exceeds 7 points. Malik Monk fell to 7 units and 3/13 shooting, while Russell Westbrook collapsed with 6 points to 2/12 shooting. As a bonus, the King got annoyed with Desmond Banes.

A sign of tension in this part for the Lakers, who completely missed their topic. The satisfactions? Talen Horton-Tucker (13 points), Austin Reaves (16 points) and finally Wayne Ellington (16 units). For the rest, it’s a meeting to forget:
After a good period, the Lakers suffer an embarrassing loss to the Grizzlies here, with a LeBron James expected to feel good on his own in the starting 5. A match that must be quickly forgotten.
