The Los Angeles Lakers (21-25) are 13th in the Western Conference and are coming off a one-point win against the Memphis Grizzlies (122-121) in their previous outing.
LeBron James stepped up to score 23 points along with nine rebounds and six rebounds. Dennis Schroder chipped in with 19 crucial points, including 8 rebounds and 8 assists. However, the biggest surprise was Russell Westbrook, who came off the bench and produced a 29-point win. This was a big win for the Lakers, against a team like the Grizzlies, who are 9-1 in their last 10. It has been a tough season for the Lakers as they are fighting it out to stay alive in the race for the playoffs. They will now take on the Portland Trail Blazers (21-24), who are 12th in the West, on a two-game losing streak, and faced a defeat against the Philadelphia 76ers (105-95) in their last outing.
Jeremy Grant and Damian Lillard were the only two players who looked competitive in the defeat to the 76ers. They posted 24 and 25 points, respectively, but there was no other contribution from the remaining players.
