The Los Angeles Lakers showcased an impressive performance, clinching a 134-127 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Key players LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves combined for 85 points and 25 assists, significantly contributing to the Lakers' success. Reaves led the charge with 31 points, while Doncic and James added 29 and 25 points, respectively. This victory solidifies the Lakers' position as the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference, just 1.5 games behind the Denver Nuggets for third place.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies, still adjusting to new coaching dynamics following the dismissal of Taylor Jenkins, are in a precarious position, having lost five of their last six games. With challenging matchups ahead against the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors, the pressure is mounting for interim coach Tuomas Iisalo to secure victories and avoid slipping into the play-in tournament.
