Frustrated LeBron sounds off on Lakers’ struggles after 10th loss in 13 games, 127-113 to Memphis

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — LeBron James didn’t sugarcoat his increasingly sour feelings after the Los Angeles Lakers spiraled to their 10th loss in 13 games Friday night, falling 127-113 to the Memphis Grizzlies. “We just suck right now,” a visibly perturbed James said after he scored 32 points in the Lakers’ fourth consecutive loss. We’ve got to do it with the guys we’ve got and remain together.” Jaren Jackson Jr. hit five 3-pointers and scored 31 points and Marcus Smart added 29 points with a season-high eight 3-pointers for the Grizzlies, who earned just their second win in six games. But we had our chances.” Los Angeles had won six consecutive home games over the Grizzlies in the past 12 months, including three straight in the Lakers’ first-round playoff upset of the second-seeded Grizz last spring.
