One of the key components that this young Lakers team has to work on is closing out games against good teams. They dominated the Grizzlies squad in the 2nd half, but the Grizzlies, being a veteran, playoff team came storming back. Luckily, there's a reason why the Lakers have Brook Lopez and KCP. Being the veteran presence that they are, they calmed things down when the Grizzlies made a run. Lopez hit some key shots and got to the foul line. KCP hit clutch shots and made clutch defensive plays down the stretch of the game. They stepped up at the right time for this young team. Ingram had his second 20+ point game of the season and he attacked the basket at will in the first half. If I heard correctly, 17 of his 20 points came within that half. He was quiet in the 2nd half. The Grizzlies probably made some adjustments to seal off his lanes where he can't attack. Kuzma was impressive again with another double-double in his 2nd career start. Lonzo Ball kept pushing on the break and igniting the infectious ball movement. Last night's win overall was another impressive team victory over a perennial playoff squad. Wednesday's game against the Celtics is gonna be a pretty good test for this team. Boston's riding hot under Kyrie Irving. Ball and the Lakers are gonna have a handful containing him, but if they can hold down the rest of the team, it'll be a down-to-the-wire game. I'll see you guys on Wednesday for that.
