Jaren Jackson Jr. and Marcus Smart led the way for the Grizzlies with 22 points each, while Ja Morant notched 19 points and 10 assists. Since his return the 24-year-old is averaging 26.8 points in 5 games.

It was a pretty much one-sided contest until the fourth quarter, when a late rally gave Memphis a glimmer of a hope. The closest they got was at 105-97, but then the LA team pulled themselves together to finish off the game at a safe distance.
