Lakers Hold Off Grizzlies, 107-100, To Snap 4-Game Skid
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jordan Clarkson scored 22 points, Kobe Bryant added 20 and the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 107-100 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
Bryant scored 12 points in the third quarter, but the superstar sat out the final 4:20. Brandon Bass got eight of his 18 points in the fourth while Los Angeles' younger players closed out an unlikely victory over the playoff-bound Grizzlies, who had won the clubs' first three meetings of the season.
The Western Conference-worst Lakers wrapped up an eight-game homestand with three wins, beating contenders Golden State and Memphis.
Tony Allen made all 12 of his shots while scoring 27 points for the Grizzlies, who had won two straight. Zach Randolph and Lance Stephenson added 16 points apiece.
