NBA result: Anthony Davis’ big night propels Lakers past Grizzlies
The HinduAnthony Davis added to his recent productive run with 30 points and a season-high 22 rebounds as the Los Angeles Lakers continued their late-season playoff push with a 112-103 victory over the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. Dennis Schroder, Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves each scored 17 points as the Lakers improved to 5-2 since the All-Star break and to 3-2 since LeBron James was lost with a right foot tendon injury. Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 26 points and Tyus Jones added 16 as the Grizzlies fell to 0-2 since Ja Morant departed the team following his participation in a live social-media video in which he appeared to be holding a gun. Davis had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers by halftime despite missing time because of a laceration to his nose that occurred when he was poked by the Grizzlies’ David Roddy.
