In a thrilling matchup, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 131-114, bolstered by strong 3-point shooting. Ja Morant contributed 20 points but exited the game in the third quarter due to a right hamstring injury. Rookie Jaylen Wells and Jaren Jackson Jr. also scored 20 points each for the Grizzlies.
