On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up their five-game road trip with a tough 131-114 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite a strong performance from LeBron James, the Lakers struggled without their top scorer, Anthony Davis, who had already scored 228 points this season. The game also had some heated moments between LeBron and Ja Morant that got fans excited.
It all started when Morant made the “too-small” gesture at Lakers’ Gabe Vincent before halftime. LeBron didn’t like this and stood up for his teammate.
On the next play, LeBron executed a powerful move that led to Morant’s fall, and he then made the “too-small” sign back at him. Later, Morant bumped into LeBron after a jump shot and got a technical foul.
Even with the tension, both players showed their pure skills. Morant had 20 points, four boards, and five assists, while LeBron reached a new season high with 39 points.
