The Los Angeles Lakers looked to get back on top in the New Year with a win against the Memphis Grizzlies. LA came out strong holding a 15-point lead at one point in the first half.

The Lakers wound up winning 128-121, thanks to 34 points from Luka Doncic and 31 from LeBron James. Memphis battled hard after giving up 39 first-quarter points to LA.

Ultimately, with their star Ja Morant, shooting 7-18 for 16 points and struggling to find his touch, it was difficult for them to gain any traction against the Lakers. LA improved to 21-11 on the season, while Memphis drops to 15-19.
