The Los Angeles Lakers completed the four-game road trip against the Memphis Grizzles on Tuesday and it was a close one, as the Lakers did not play particularly well. But they still pulled out a 94-92 win and finish 4-0 on the trip.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis did their usual thing to lead the way. James iced the victory with a fadeaway at the end.
Meanwhile, the Grizzles played a good game without start point guard Ja Morant. Tough, hard-nosed basketball has become their brand of basketball.
However, the Lakers’ veteran experience and championship pedigree got them over the top. Being the defending champions, the Lakers will get ever opponent’s best shot. Tuesday was no different but the Lakeshow got it done.
