Lakers-Grizzlies Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a bit of a funk, but nothing that a matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies shouldn't be able to cure.

Then again, Los Angeles seemed to have an ideal opportunity to get back into the win column in its last game, too.

The Lakers have taken seven of eight from the Grizzlies and will look to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season when they travel to Memphis on Tuesday night.

After averaging 112.5 points in its first 14 games, Los Angeles (13-4) has been held to 95.3 per game over the last three while shooting a combined 39.9 percent.

Two nights after blowing a 19-point lead in a loss at Utah, the Lakers returned home Sunday to face an Indiana team which was at .500 and hadn't won a road game against them since 1999. However, Los Angeles fell behind by as many as 15 points and lost 95-92.

"Focus, our energy and effort. ... We need to sustain it throughout the whole game," Lamar Odom said. "It was disappointing after letting a team come back from 19. ... It was real disappointing and we have to go back to the drawing board."

Kobe Bryant had a season-high 41 points versus the Pacers after scoring 31 against Utah. The Lakers are 3-3 when he scores more than 30, compared to 10-1 when he doesn't.

"We're going to score points, but we've got to shore up the defense," Bryant said. "We've got to execute better. We missed too many assignments, and we didn't play with the right energy. ... We can't put all the pressure on the shooters to make shots all the time, because then they start thinking about their shot instead of just relaxing and shooting it."

While Bryant is 6 for 13 from 3-point range in the last two games, Derek Fisher hasn't made one in four straight and has shot a combined 3 for 21 from the field in the past three games. Still, Fisher is connecting on a career-high 47.2 percent of his 3-point attempts, and the Lakers are 7-0 when he scores in double figures.

Bryant has averaged 37.0 points in his last six games at Memphis, and the Lakers won five.

The 12-time All Star and two-time scoring champion ranks third all-time and first among active players with 105 40-point performances, seven of which have come against the Grizzlies. He only scored 23 in this season's lone meeting but was among six Lakers in double figures in a 124-105 home win Nov. 2.

That remains the most points allowed this season by the Grizzlies, but they've been the ones doing plenty of scoring lately when playing at home. They have won three straight at FedEx Forum, averaging 106.0 points while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor.

Memphis (7-10), however, shot 42.4 percent Saturday night in a 92-86 loss at Cleveland, matching its second-lowest scoring output of the season.

The Grizzlies expect to have a better offensive performance Tuesday considering they won't be so tired. They were held to a season-worst 35 points in the second half, possibly due to fatigue after playing Friday and not getting to Cleveland until 4 a.m.

"I'm not going to get into excuses," said Rudy Gay, who scored 30 against the Lakers earlier this month. "We're basketball players. If we weren't professionals, there would probably be times we'd be in a pickup game at 11 o'clock at night."

Grizzlies send Lakers to 3rd straight loss, 98-96

MEMPHIS, Tenn.(AP) The Lakers had "Get back on track" written on the board in their dressing room. Mike Conley and the Memphis Grizzlies wouldn't let tha happen against them.

Conley scored 10 of his season-high 28 points in the fourth quarter, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Los Angeles Lakers 98-96 on Tuesday night, sending the defending champs to their third straight loss.

It's just the second three-game skid for the Lakers since they traded with Memphis for Pau Gasol in February 2008 to team him up with Kobe Bryant and first since March.

The Grizzlies now have won four straight at home and four of five overall.

"Our team came out and competed against one of the best teams in the NBA, and they competed well enough to get a win," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said.

The Lakers had a chance to at least tie the game or win at the end. Conley lost the ball when he drove the lane and crashed into Pau Gasol. Kobe Bryant passed to Ron Artest for a 3-pointer for the win, but Rudy Gay blocked the shot as the Grizzlies held on for their second win in four games against the defending champions. Artest credited Gay with great defense.

"It was well-executed. I learned something from that today ...," Artest said of Gay's block. "That was great execution. His close out was perfect ... He closed out, chopped his feet a little bit. Stayed low, didn't go totally for the head fake and recovered."

Gay, who finished with 14 points, credited his teammates with helping O.J. Mayo defend Bryant who wanted an open look at the end. Gay realizes he's known as a scorer but wants to play better defense.

"The type of defensive-minded team we are here in Memphis, the sky is the limit. We all have aspirations of the playoffs. You have to play defensively every night," Gay said.

Zach Randolph had 13 and eight rebounds for Memphis. Xavier Henry had 12, Marc Gasol had 10 and nine rebounds. Mayo had 11 points off the bench.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson didn't call a timeout, preferring to let Bryant run down and take an open shot.

"I went middle and I had the shot that I wanted, but I lost the handle on the ball while I was going up, so I kicked it to Ron," Bryant said. "Ron took a dribble and shot."

Bryant finished with a game-high 29 points but was 9-of-25 from the floor, including 1-of-6 outside the arc. Pau Gasol had 15 points and 14 rebounds playing mostly against his little brother.

"I think he felt like he had to carry a little bit of the load," Jackson said of Bryant's recent shooting woes. "Kobe's going to come out there and attack if no one else is aggressive enough. He's going to test the defense, and the other guys are going to have to step in."

It looked like it would be a tight game early as the teams swapped the lead 17 times with 13 ties until Marc Gasol's three-point play put Memphis ahead to stay with 3:18 left in the first half. The Grizzlies led 51-49 at halftime and opened the third quarter with a 13-4 run started by consecutive buckets by Conley.

Jackson said his team's problem in this skid is starting sluggishly in the second half.

"Third quarters have been a real problem for us, coming out and having the right energies. Carrying the attack," Jackson said. "We start games relatively well. Our bench has had a little of a struggle right now, and that's the other denominator that's probably common."

The Lakers pulled within 70-65 at the end of the third quarter. Greivis Vasquez opened the fourth with a 3, Mayo hit a 3 and Sam Young hit two free throws for a quick spurt that gave Memphis the biggest lead of the game at 78-65.

The Grizzlies still lead 89-80 and had fans chanting "Defense, defense" when it appeared Bryant had completely missed the bucket with an air ball. The teams were starting to head back down court when an official ruled the Grizzlies had touched the shot, giving it back to Los Angeles.

The Lakers struggled to get a shot off until Shannon Brown's deep 3 beat the shot clock with 4:07 left. That seemed to energize the Lakers who started trimming that lead down. Brown scored again, Bryant hit four straight free throws, then Lamar Odom hit a pair.

But Conley kept answering first with a jumper, then his 3 with 1:41 left. Artest hit a 3 with 59.3 seconds left, and Bryant drove for a layup to pull the Lakers the closest since halftime.

"Defensively, we had trouble keeping in front of him," Jackson said of Conley. "A lot of that's help from the big guys, and a lot of it's his talent."

Los Angeles had its biggest lead of the game at 43-37 on a 3-pointer by Artest with 6:29 left in the second quarter.

The Lakers stayed in the game in the first half thanks to the free throw line, hitting 12-of-14. Bryant made more free throws by himself (6-of-8) than the Grizzlies (5-of-8).

One of Memphis' highlights in the half came when Hasheem Thabeet, the No. 2 pick overall last year, took a charge from Bryant in the final minute of the first half.

Notes: The Lakers gave Memphis its worst loss this season Nov. 2 with a 124-105 win in Los Angeles. ... Bryant came in having hit 32-of-72 from the floor over his previous three games. He was just 6 of 16 in the first half. ... Darrell Arthur was inactive with a strained left groin. ... The Lakers still lead this series 43-15 and 19-10 on the road. ... The Lakers outrebounded Memphis 42-29, but the Grizzlies had a 38-36 edge in scoring in the paint.

Lakers-Grizzlies notebook

By Marlon W. Morgan, for NBA.com
Posted Wednesday December 1, 2010 12:21AM

THE FACTS: Memphis guard Mike Conley repeatedly took advantage of slower Los Angeles Lakers point guards Derek Fisher and Steve Blake, scoring a season-high 28 points to lead the Grizzlies to a 98-96 win. A last-second shot by Ron Artest was blocked by Rudy Gay, his career-high sixth block of the game.

QUOTABLE: "It was fun. I always love being competitive. When everybody talks about Kobe is the best in the world, that's one of the funnest things you can do when you're 19 years old. To actually be able to go up and down with him, that's great for me. ... I just wanted to make the game tough on Kobe anyway I could. I knew he could shoot and what he could do in the post, but I just wanted to make it tough on him and that's what I did."
-- Grizzlies rookie guard Xavier Henry on starting against Kobe Bryant

THE STAT: One way the Grizzlies managed to overcome being dominated on the boards, 42-29, was their ability to hold onto the ball. The Grizzlies had a season-low seven turnovers, compared to 15 by the Lakers, which led to a 16-5 edge in points off of turnovers.

TURNING POINT: Fisher's jumper to start the third quarter tied the game at 51. But when Conley answered with one of his four 3-pointers, the Grizzlies went on a 13-2 run and never relinquished their lead.

HOT: Conley, the one Grizzlies player Memphis fans love to hate, turned in his best outing of the season. Conley made 10 of his 13 shots, including 4-for-5 from 3-point range. He also had three assists, three rebounds and a pair of steals as the Lakers simply had no answer for him.

NOT: Although he managed to score 29 points, it was a tough shooting night for Bryant, who missed 16 of his 25 shot attempts, Bryant missed 10 straight shots in the second and third quarters.

ROOKIE WATCH: In addition to holding his own against Bryant defensively, Henry was aggressive on the offensive end, scoring 12 points on 6-for-11 shooting, his highest point total as a starter (five games).

NOTABLE: The Grizzlies and Lakers are teams headed in opposite directions. The Grizzlies won for the fourth time in five games after suffering a season-high five-game losing streak. It was also their fourth straight home win. Meanwhile, the Lakers have now lost a season-high three in a row, equaling their longest losing streak since acquiring Pau Gasol on Feb. 1, 2008.

UP NEXT: For the Lakers, Wednesday @ Houston, Friday vs. Sacramento, Tuesday vs. Washington; For the Grizzlies, Wednesday @ Atlanta, Friday vs. Houston, Sunday @ Denver.
