The Lakers routed the Memphis Grizzlies 128-123, and this is keeping LeBron James hot, his third triple-double in a row and fourth of the season with him securing the 116th of his career. Only Nikolaj Jokic is ahead of him this season. This is the second oldest player to pull three consecutive triple-doubles in a row, after LeBron himself. He broke his own record at 39y, 320d. Anthony Davis was a nice contributor in the win with 21 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. For Memphis, other top contributors included Jaren Jackson Jr., who scored 29 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.

Game summary and highlights
The Lakers came out on fire, building a 13-point lead in four minutes, but the Grizzlies stormed back. The score was 38-26 Memphis at the end of the first 12 minutes. LeBron James scored 10 points in the quarter; Scotty Pippen Jr., a former Laker, scored nine for Memphis. Pippen Jr. must be carrying around some kind of chip on his shoulder considering what happened with his former team when Morant got hurt.
The Lakers took a 14-point lead in the second quarter but dug themselves into a hole on defense, allowing the Grizzlies to come all the way back to tie as the teams headed into the third quarter with the game at one point. The Grizzlies capitalized on Anthony Davis' foul troubles in the third quarter, committing four fouls, including his fifth, which necessitated a subbed-out after his fourth foul.
