The Los Angeles Lakers look to build off their first win of the year as they travel to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies tonight.
The Lakers won their first game against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night. Click here to read the recap of that game.
Jeremy Lin will look to string to together a few strong games. He scored 21 points last game and the Lakers will need him to play well if they want to have any chance at a solid season.
The Lakers used a big third quarter to get pass the Hornets on Sunday. The ball movement was the best of the year, so it’s no coincidence that it resulted in a Lakers win. Hopefully the Lakers have found their brand of basketball and will be able to execute a similar game plan against the Grizzlies.
For the Grizzlies, they are coming off their first loss of the season. After a narrow victory over the short-handed Thunder, they played the Bucks in a close one but lost by one. Brandon Knight converted on a clutch and-one lay-up to seal the deal for the Bucks. The Grizzlies will look to right the ship against the Lakers.
The Grizzlies will provide a unique matchup for the Lakers. They will have the upper hand in the post with the likes of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. It will be a handful for the Lakers bigs Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill.
One thing Lakers fan will need to be mindful about is the elite Grizzly defense. So far the Grizzlies lead the league in fewest points allowed as they only give up 87.6 points per game.
It will be a challenge that hopefully the Lakers are ready are for.
