The brawl might have been the center of attention on Friday night, but that doesn’t change the fact of how James and co. snapped the Grizzlies’ 11-game winning streak. With the help of Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schroder, the Lakers pulled off the miraculous win. Both of them dropped 29 and 19 points respectively.

King James was possibly not at his best on the night but still wrapped up the 121-122 win with 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. With this win, the Lakers currently sit in the 13th position in the Western Conference table.
