COLUMN: Part of the problem with this Memphis Grizzlies season is so many of the games the past couple months just haven’t mattered. Well, Brandon Clarke’s comeback tonight against LeBron and the Lakers matters.

Lakers fans have to be feeling pretty good right now. AD is playing out of his mind. D’Angelo’s lighting it up. Reaves rings up historic night. Beat the Bucks on the road without LeBron. No major injuries. 4-game win streak. – 12:09 AM

LAL had a similarly thrilling Double OT win at the start of their last long road trip, at GSW, but then lost the next 2. Reaves said they’re well aware of that.
They’re hoping to get LeBron (ankle) back at Memphis, which would certainly help a ton if he’s able to go. – 11:36 PM

Austin Reaves is the first player in Lakers history with at least 29 pts, 14 rebs, 10 asts and 1 or fewer TOs.
Only Lakers to turn this feat with 3 or fewer TOs are Reaves and LeBron. Not even Magic & Kobe. Reaves is the only Laker who’s ever done it twice. pic.twitter.com/ZvRF2GAfrt – 11:18 PM

Two unexpected results from the last two days: Lakers beat the Bucks without LeBron, and Spurs beat the Suns without Wemby.
Now, instead of leading the Lakers by four games, the Suns lead them by two. The Lakers have the tiebreaker. The Suns have the hardest remaining schedule. – 10:42 PM

The Lakers win a wild one in double-OT, 128-124, coming back from down 19 in the 4th in Milwaukee to win on a night they didn’t have LeBron in the lineup. AD 34p 23r 4b 2s; Reaves 29p 14r 10a 2b; D-L 29p 12a 7r 2s; Rui 16p 14r. LAL shot 30-for-32 on FTs as a team. – 10:40 PM

Final: Lakers 128, Bucks 124 (2OT)
One of LA’s best wins of the season. They improve to 40-32 and 6-4 w/o LeBron this season. AD had 34 points and 23 rebounds. AR had 29 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. DLo had 29 points and 12 assists.
Up next: at MEM tomorrow. – 10:39 PM

Huge transition pull up 3 from Spencer Dinwiddie gives the Lakers a lead over the Bucks in OT. LeBron James is not playing and Anthony Davis is playing hurt. Milwaukee should be winning this game. – 10:06 PM

Jovan Buha: Lakers’ injury report vs. Memphis: Anthony Davis is added as questionable with a left knee hyperextension. LeBron James remains questionable with his left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. -via Twitter @jovanbuha / March 27, 2024
“And yes, if you have the opportunity to have a favorable matchup and you can beat your man, but realize something – most great teams are gonna send help. And can you make the right reads? Can you make the right reads?,” the Lakers superstar explained. “Can you instill confidence in your teammates to when you’ve scored twice on that favorable matchup, do you know that the double is coming? And you have to see it either coming from the tilt on the baseline or from the fire from the nail.” -via BasketNews / March 27, 2024
In one of the segments, LeBron James mentioned he gets pissed when hearing one particular thing. “There’s a narrative of this thing called ‘I have a bag’ or ‘He doesn’t have a bag.’ It bothers the f**k out of me. Everyone thinks just because you get a favorable matchup, that means it’s one-on-one time. ‘Let’s play ones’- that’s all you hear the kids talk about now. ‘We’re gonna play ones.’ What the f**k is this? This is not Jordan vs. Bird Nintendo. It’s five on five,” LeBron said. -via BasketNews / March 27, 2024
