Lakers Drop 2nd Back-to-Back Game to Shorthanded Grizzlies

*Stats courtesy of NBA.com and Yahoo Sports*

I'd say the Lakers were more short-handed. Calderon left early in the game with an injury. D'Lo, LNJ, and Swaggy P are out. The ever-dependent Sweet Lou, Lou Williams lead the Lakers with a season high 40 points off the bench, but the effort just came up short as the Lakers wound up losing to the Grizzlies 100-103. Luol Deng is starting to show some life on the roster, racking up 18 points to go with 5 rebounds and 4 steals and Timofey Mozgov added 13 points. Meanwhile the Laker young guns failed to get anything going. Brandon Ingram was held to 9 points and hampered by 5 turnovers. Julius Randle had an off-night, scoring 6 points on 3-8 shooting and Jordan Clarkson had a woeful shooting night scoring 8 points on 4-16 shooting. This is part of the growing pains guys.

Final Score: @ Memphis 100-103 [L]
