The Los Angeles Lakers dominated the Memphis Grizzlies, achieving their first halftime lead of the season and scoring a season-high 134 points. They made a franchise record-tying 22 3-pointers, with LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the charge. The Lakers continued their winning streak, defeating the Grizzlies 134-107 and improving to 6-5. However, they suffered a 125-110 loss to the Sacramento Kings, despite LeBron's triple-double. They bounced back with a 107-95 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, with LeBron scoring 35 points. The Lakers then narrowly defeated the Houston Rockets 105-104, with LeBron clinching the game at the free-throw line.
Lakers hold on to win 105-104. LeBron had 13 points on 5 of 6 FGβs in the 4th Q, and Austin Reaves 9 on 2 of 2 FGβs with the go-ahead 3 in the final minute, plus 4 of 5 FTβs. LAL needed every make, as the rest of the squad was 1 for 7 in the 4th.
Lakers win 105-104 over HOU, improve to 8-6. LeBron season-high 37p on 14-of-19 and go-ahead FT w/ 1.9 seconds left 8a 6r 3s; AD 27p on 11-of-15 10r 3a 2s; Reaves 17p on 5-of-7 6r 6a; Hachimura 11p 4r 2s. LAL can win in-season tourney group vs. UTA on Tuesday.

With many of LeBron's teammates outside of AD struggling to make shots tonight, he's just making them all himself. A pair of jumpers, including his 2nd triple, has LAL up 97-93. Lakers are 5 for 27 from 3, and LeBron has 2 of the makes in 4 attempts.
LAL have their biggest lead of 8 after LeBron scored to open the 4th Q. He's 10 of 14 for 26 points, and Davis is 11 of 14 for 27 points. The rest of the Lakers have struggled from 3 (3 of 19 outside of LeBron's 1 for 3), which is why the lead isn't a lot bigger.
Third quarter: Lakers 81, Rockets 75 AD and LeBron combined for 23 of the Lakers' 32 points in that frame. AD has 27 points and 9 rebounds -- Houston hasn't been able to guard him near the paint. LeBron 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. LA is living at the FT line (15-20).
Lakers have a 81-75 lead over Rockets entering the 4th Q. Anthony Davis (27 points) and LeBron James (24) have done a great job with compensating for the Lakers' poor 3-point shooting (18.2%).
Halftime: Rockets 55, Lakers 49 LA made several surges in the 2nd qtr, but Houston responded each time. LeBron has 14 points, 5 assists and 2 steals. AD has 14 points and 8 rebounds. Austin Reaves has 8 points. Houston's ball movement and 3PT shooting have been the difference.
First quarter: Rockets 28, Lakers 20 Anthony Davis has 10 points and 5 rebounds. LA is shooting just 32.1% and is 2-for-10 on 3s (20%). Houston led by as many as 11 points -- another double-digit deficit for LA in the first quarter. Houston is winning the 3PT and FT battles.
Final: Lakers 107, Blazers 95 LA improves to 7-6. They are 3-0 in In-Season Tournament group play and in a strong position to advance. LeBron tied his season-high with 35 points. Anthony Davis had 16 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 5 blocks. Up next: vs. Houston on Sunday.
Third quarter: Lakers 82, Blazers 75 LeBron has 28 points on 11-for-17 shooting. AD has 12 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 5 blocks. DLo has 14 points and 5 assists. LA has nearly as many turnovers (14) as assists (18). POR has 17 offensive rebounds, which has kept them in⦠https://t.co/OxkN6RqAna

First quarter: Lakers 30, Blazers 23 LeBron has 9 points. D'Angelo Russell has 8. Anthony Davis has just 2 points on 1-for-4 shooting but has been great defensively with 3 blocks and 1 steal already. Blazers already have six offensive rebounds -- far too many for one quarter.
Final: Kings 125, Lakers 110 The Lakers drop to 6-6 in their first home loss. LeBron James had a triple-double: 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. D'Angelo Russell had 28 points and 5 assists. LA made a fourth-quarter rally but it wasn't enough. Up next: at POR on Friday.
Third quarter: Kings 104, Lakers 80 That was a disastrous quarter for LA. Sacramento blew this game open. LeBron has 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. DLo has 19 points and 4 assists. LeBron and AD are almost certainly done for the night.
HALFTIME: #Lakers 59- #Kings 72 LeBron James leads the Lakers with 19 pts, 5 rebs, 4 assts, 3 stls
Halftime: Kings 72, Lakers 59 LeBron has 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. DLo has 14 points. Austin Reaves has 5 rebounds and 5 assists. LA has hung around by getting to the FT line and forcing turnovers. They have to clean up their offense -- SAC has 16 points off TOs.
The Lakers' seven turnovers have led to 16 Kings points.
First quarter: Kings 38, Lakers 25 Taurean Prince's buzzer-beating 3 was part of the second unit's late qtr rally to trim the deficit from 20 to 13. LeBron and Prince lead LA with 5 points each. Kings have made six 3s and scored 16 points in the paint and 10 fast-break points.
A 21-11 lead for the Kings to start this game. The Lakers have played sloppy. They have three turnovers, they've missed several point-blank shots and they've been slow getting back in transition defensively. Timeout LA with 6:01 left in the first quarter.
βοΈ for @SportingTribune. It doesn't stop for the Lakers as they have a game for the second straight night. They look to get revenge against the Sacramento Kings. Lakers are going for their fourth straight win overall. https://t.co/GbbfQTLEO6
The Lakers made 22 3-pointers vs Grizzlies on Tuesday night. That tied their most in a game in franchise history. Entering play Tuesday the Lakers were tied for the fewest made 3-pointers per game this season. https://t.co/v6ArXIQx75
The Lakers came into the night 29th in the league, shooting 30.4% from 3. Tuesday, they tied a franchise record for 3s made, by going 22-for-35 from deep. The 62.9% from 3 is the best team shooting mark ever by a team with 35+ attempts.
Per stathead at @bball_ref, the Lakers are only the 2nd team ever to make at least 22 three-pointers while shooting 62% or better in a game. The other team was the 2008-09 Orlando Magic who went 23-37 against the Kings in January of that season.
βοΈ for @SportingTrib. The Lakers are now 2-0 in the In-Season Tournament after taking care of the Grizz. They've won three in a row overall. They also tied the franchise record with 22 threes. https://t.co/oUCgFJbNYM
The Lakers win their third straight to improve to 6-5 and 2-0 in the in-season tournament group play with a 134-107 trouncing of Memphis. DLo 24p 5a; Rui 23p on 8-of-10; AD 19p 11r 5a 6b; LeBron 16p 9r 6a. LAL tied a franchise record with 22 made 3s.

Per the Lakers, tonight's 22 three-pointers ties a franchise record (2/17/19, in Boston). Other than Christian Wood, every Laker who took a three made at least one. AK
The Lakers have tied their franchise record of 22 3-pointers made.
The Lakers have tied the franchise record, set in 2019 at Boston, at 22 3-pointers made, with Max Christie's first of the night.
The Lakers' 20 3-pointers tonight are the second-most in a game in franchise history. (The most they've made is 22 in Boston on Feb. 7, 2019.)
Third quarter: Lakers 107, Grizzlies 86 This has been LA's most complete game of the season. They've made a season-high 17 3s. Anthony Davis has 19 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks. LeBron has 19 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. DLo has 24 points (season-high six 3s) and 5β¦ https://t.co/uhatt5ctR6
The Lakers have made a season-high 16 3-pointers tonight.
The Lakers make their first halftime lead of the season a huge one: theyβre up 74-51 on MEM at the break. AD 15p 9r 3b; LeBron 10p 7r 5a; DLo 11p 4a; Rui 11p. LAL shooting 11-of-20 from 3.
Excellent team energy tonight from the Lakers in their new uniforms, and new In-Season Tournament court, plus some impressive execution produced a 74-51 halftime lead. LAL came in 5-5, but somehow hadn't led to start a 3rd Q before tonight. AD had 15, 8, 2 and 2, LeBron 10-7-5.
Halftime: Lakers 74, Grizzlies 51 This is LA's first halftime lead of the season. This is also the most points they've scored in a half this season. A dominant two-way effort. Anthony Davis has 15 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. LeBron has 10 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
The Lakers have taken command of this game and are up by 20 points, 62-42, with 4:20 left in the second quarter. This is the type of impressive performance they've yet to enjoy this season -- a dominant first half and a (potential) commanding win.
First quarter: Lakers 37, Grizzlies 26 That was the Lakers' best first quarter this season. Apparently, this is the court that unlocks their shooting -- they've made 6 of 11 3s. Anthony Davis has 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. LeBron has 8 points. Rui Hachimura has 7.
