Ja Morant produced a second-half scoring spree as the Memphis Grizzlies exploited the absence of LeBron James to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 121-109 on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies takes a shot during the first half against the Los Angeles Lakers at FedExForum on February 28, 2023 in Memphis, Tennessee.

The Memphis win snapped the Lakers’ three-game winning streak and put another dent in the team’s recent resurgence following the injury to James on Sunday. Morant received scoring support from Xavier Tillman with 18 points, while Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane added 16 points apiece for the home side.

“I told my team-mates at half-time I wasn’t going to miss too many more of those. I got it going, and the rest is history.”“We’ve got some guys out of the lineup obviously but we have capable players, and we have to be conscious of making the simple play,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said.Elsewhere, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 33 points as the Milwaukee Bucks stretched their winning streak to 15 games with a come-from-behind 118-104 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.

“Right now we’re playing great basketball, we’re playing together and guys are making shots and defending,” Antetokounmpo said. “We’re out there competing, doing whatever it takes to win, building good habits. It’s fun.” “But sometimes when you’re down it’s a little harder. But at the end of the day, as a team we kept our composure. In Houston, Nikola Jokic brought up a century of triple-doubles as the Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets downed the Rockets 133-112.
