The Los Angeles team made a substantial improvement on their shooting as they reached 58%, hitting 62,9% of their 3-pointers, scoring a franchise-tying 22 of them. This was one of their weakness in their opening 10 games of the season and they made light work of it.

“You don’t want to be that guy (struggling) when the team is shooting extremely well,” James said. “You want to chip in and be a part of it. Definitely a great shooting night for us tonight, and a good win for us.”

Santi Aldama was the highest scorer for the Grizzlies with a career-high 24 points as Memphis failed to reproduce their fine form they showed against the Clippers.

Instead they had to deal with new injury headaches as Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard limped off the court.
