And that was the case, the Lakers falling behind by 16 points in the second quarter, the Grizzlies ramping it up in a big way. But with Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Jake LaRavia leading the way, the Lakers pulled out a 120-114 win."

LeBron James contributed 26 points and 10 assists as the Lakers overcame a 16-point, second-quarter deficit to secure the win."
