NBA: Ja Morant Stars as Grizzlies Maul Lakers, Bucks Rally to Down Nets

News 18  

Ja Morant produced a second-half scoring spree as the Memphis Grizzlies exploited the absence of LeBron James to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 121-109 on Tuesday. After being restricted to just six points as the Lakers took a 49-46 lead into the break, Grizzlies star Morant erupted with 28 points in the third quarter to tip the contest decisively in Memphis’ favor. “We’ve got some guys out of the lineup obviously but we have capable players, and we have to be conscious of making the simple play,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham lamented. “You turn the ball over it’s hard to get your defense set.” Bucks rally, Jokic century Elsewhere on Tuesday, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 33 points as the Milwaukee Bucks stretched their winning streak to 15 games with a come-from-behind 118-104 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. “When we’re winning and making shots, it’s easy,” Antetokounmpo said after a win that saw the Bucks improve to 44-17.
