OUT: Vando,CW. Only 9 games left to get higher in the ranks. Just realized I didn't finish this after the game. :( Lakers didn't dominate, but they stayed in the lead most of the game and shot better then MEM. 7 guys in DFs (way to spread it around) with Rui/AR getting the DDs and LBJ gets the TD. Rui 7-8 from 3, DLo 5-9. Lakers shot great from 3 at 55% which probably accounts for the W more than anything else. Still way too many TOs/oORBs - when will they do something about teaching these guys to RB. 136-124 Lakers win by 12 but no Tacos for fans.

FBP: 8 vs 5; PIP: 42 vs 56; POT: 22 vs 17; SCP: 7 vs 19.

Recap from https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401585683

LeBron James puts up 23 points, 12 assists and 14 rebounds in the
Lakers' win over the Grizzlies.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- LeBron James had a triple-double with 23 points, 14
rebounds and 12 assists, Rui Hachimura scored 32 points as the Los
Angeles Lakers built a big lead in the third quarter and beat the
Memphis Grizzlies 136-124 on Wednesday night.

Coming off a 128-124 double-overtime victory in Milwaukee without James
on Tuesday night, the Lakers won their fifth straight to pull within 2
1/2 games of idle Dallas for the sixth spot in the Western Conference,
a spot that would avoid a play-in game.

Anthony Davis sat out against Memphis after having 34 points and 23
rebounds in a career-high 52 minutes against Milwaukee. He
hyperextended his left knee late against the Bucks. James said
Hachimura's scoring including 7 of 8 3-pointers along with grabbing 10
rebounds was a key with Davis sitting out.

Rui's ability to shoot and spread the floor was big time for us, James
said. He just stayed locked in all night.

D'Angelo Russell added 23 points for Los Angeles, and Taurean Prince
had 15.

Desmond Bane led Memphis with 26 points and a career-high 16 assists.
Jake LaRavia scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, and
Jaren Jackson added 17. The Grizzlies have lost six of seven.

Despite the extended game a night earlier, the Lakers seemed fine with
their shooting legs in the first half, and led 69-61 at the break.
Lakers coach Darvin Ham almost predicted the pace of the game, saying
it was key for Los Angeles to get their legs in the first half after
the Milwaukee win and let the second half play out.

We started getting a groove into the game, Ham said. We knew coming off
the (Bucks) game, this was not going to be a walk in the park.

Los Angeles converted eight of its first 10 long-range shots in the
third to stretch the advantage to 27. Memphis closed the third on a
21-4 run to pull to 102-92 entering the fourth.

The Lakers would maintain the double-digit lead through the bulk of the
fourth.

Priority was the paint, Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said of
Hachimura's shooting. Obviously, he was the beneficiary of some great
ball movement. We adjusted late, but probably a little late on my part.

The Grizzlies, limping to the finish after a season filled with
injuries, got an emotional boost with the return of Brandon Clarke. The 6-foot-8 forward had not played since March 5, 2023 healing from a left Achilles injury. He finished with six points in almost 21 minutes.

As soon as Clarke got off the bench to enter the game in the first
quarter, the Memphis fans began applauding his anticipated appearance.
The recognition continued until a standing ovation when he was
announced entering the game.

I'm glad to get that first game over with, Clarke said, acknowledging
he still has work on his stamina. I've been thinking about it for a
very long time. I wish we could have won, but it was fun to play.

The Lakers play down the stretch of the season is reminiscent of their
run to make the playoffs last season. They finished the season 9-2 and
made the play-in game where they defeated Minnesota before dispatching
the Grizzlies in six games.

Our laundry list has been simplified, Ham said. We know that nothing
else matters if we don't take care of our own business. You feel the
playoff smell in the air. The playoffs and the postseason are rapidly approaching.

UP NEXT

Lakers: At Indiana on Friday night.
Grizzlies: At Orlando on Saturday.
