LeBron James and Lakers nearly beat Grizzlies’ epic shooting streak

Davon Ham finally found the right schematic that allows the Los Angeles Lakers to thrive on the perimeter. They had a lot of on-court issues in their NBA Inseason Championship game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Anthony Davis knocked Santi Aldama to the ground and Marcus Smart’s injury looked like it would be what this game will be remembered for. However, LeBron James and his team ensured that would not be the case after a stellar performance from beyond the arc.

, provided by Statmuse. The LeBron James-led offense was too much for the Grizzlies’ perimeter defense. This allowed them to hit 22 shots from outside and earn a much-needed victory in the NBA In-Season Championship.

The Lakers accomplished this feat by shooting 62.9% from three-point range. D’Angelo Russell was the leading scorer, scoring 24 points and adding 5 points. Rui Hachimura then scored 23 points to boost the team’s scoring. Overall, the Lakers had seven players score in double figures, which is a huge feat. Taurus Prince needed just two more points to move into the top spot, but time was running out.

Davon Ham knows they can take advantage of the Grizzlies’ increasingly lean roster. Marcus Smart couldn’t finish the entire game, which means the perimeter will be more open than usual. Generally speaking, as long as the Lakers maintain this performance, they can quickly return to the Western Conference Finals.
