I was literally thrilled to see a lot of good ball movement and great energy from the Lakers after seeing the highlights of this game. Back in 2015, I predicted that Russell and Randle were gonna be quite a pick and roll duo when the Lakers drafted D'Lo. They showed glimpses this season and they showed it once again this game. Randle notched another triple-double and was the Lakers' top performer with 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists in the Lakers' 102-116 victory over the Grizzlies. Russell added 18 points, 6 assists, and shot efficiently from three point land, shooting 6-9 from the field. Nick Young lead all scorers with 20 points and Timofey Mozgov added 14 points. The bench bounced back after a down game against the Raptors Sunday night as Jordan Clarkson lead the unit with 16 points and 7 rebounds (I saw very good activity from JC during the highlights as well) and Lou Williams bounced back with 14 points after being kept in check against his former team on Sunday.
Final Score: vs. Memphis 102-116 [W]
