The Memphis Grizzlies recently suffered a 134-127 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at FedExForum Saturday night in Iisalo's first game as interim head coach. Despite a strong performance from Desmond Bane, who scored 29 points, and Ja Morant's return from injury contributing 10 assists, the Grizzlies couldn't overcome the Lakers' offensive trio. Austin Reaves led the Lakers with 31 points and eight assists, while Luka Dončić added 29 points and nine assists, and LeBron James contributed 25 points. The Lakers built an early 20-point lead, and although Memphis rallied in the third quarter, Los Angeles regained control in the final period to secure the win.
Next game: Memphis Grizzlies host the Boston Celtics (-5.5) on Monday night (3/31) at 6:30 p.m. (pregame at 6 p.m. on 92.9 FM ESPN)
