UpdatedMEMPHIS, Tenn. — LeBron James had a triple-double with 23 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, Rui Hachimura scored 32 points as the Los Angeles Lakers built a big lead in the third quarter and beat the Memphis Grizzlies 136-124 on Wednesday night.
“Rui's ability to shoot and spread the floor was big time for us,” James said. “He just stayed locked in all night.”Desmond Bane led Memphis with 26 points and a career-high 16 assists. Jake LaRavia scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, and Jaren Jackson added 17. The Grizzlies have lost six of seven.
Los Angeles converted eight of its first 10 long-range shots in the third to stretch the advantage to 27. Memphis closed the third on a 21-4 run to pull to 102-92 entering the fourth.“Priority was the paint,” Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said of Hachimura's shooting. “Obviously, he was the beneficiary of some great ball movement. We adjusted late, but probably a little late on my part.”
