LeBron James also delivered a strong performance, scoring 25 points to go with eight assists and six rebounds.
The Lakers’ big three stepped up to secure their second win in six games, despite a spirited effort from the Grizzlies. Memphis, under the guidance of new interim coach Tuomas Iisalo, trailed by 20 points early on but threatened a comeback behind Desmond Bane’s 29 points.
However, the Lakers held firm to condemn Iisalo to a debut loss, with just nine games remaining in the season.
The win marked a welcome return to form for the Lakers, who had suffered an emotional defeat to the Bulls just days earlier.
