James has 37 points, including six in the final minute, and Davis has 36 points and 14 rebounds as the Lakers stave off Memphis, 123-120, to keep alive their slim hopes of avoiding the 9-10 play-in…
Lakers forward LeBron James shoots next to Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia during the second half on Friday night in Memphis, Tenn. James had 37 points, including six in the final minute, and 10 rebounds in a 123-120 win. And at this point in the season, the Lakers need any wins they can get to avoid being locked into the 10th seed in the Western Conference – a spot that hasn’t advanced any teams from the play-in tournament to the first round of the playoffs.
But the Lakers practically took their feet off the pedal after taking a 34-26 lead at the end of the first quarter and a game-best 13-point lead midway through the second. After cutting their deficit to 68-64 before halftime, the Grizzlies led by as many as nine in the third before the Lakers ramped up their defensive intensity, helping them take a narrow 99-98 lead heading into the fourth.
Davis, returning from a left eye injury that kept him out of the Lakers’ loss to Golden State on Tuesday, missed a pair of free throws after getting fouled while going for a defensive rebound with 1:23 remaining.A.D.-less Lakers clinging to 9th place in West after key loss to Warriors
