Nearly the entire opening day MEM roster spent much of the 2nd Q standing on the bench cheering on a group of young/new Grizzlies playing super hard.
They outscored LAL 29-20 in the 2nd Q to trim LAL’s 13-point lead to 4 at the half.
Not great energy from several Lakers. – 9:08 PM

Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson with 17 each as Grizzlies trail Lakers 68-64 at the half. You don’t want to make too much of what LaRavia has done down the stretch of this lost season, but it’s so easy to imagine him *not* doing this, even with the opportunity. – 9:07 PM

I’m telling ya, confidence is everything in the game of basketball. Everything seems to be coming very natural for Jake LaRavia right now. Saw some of this with the Hustle in the G League, but this stretch of 2 games is the best NBA example yet of why he was a first-round pick. – 9:04 PM

Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson, players who might actually matter next season, both having good second quarters as the quasi-Grizzlies are hanging around with the full-strength Lakers. – 8:58 PM

Jake LaRavia has been showing how deep the offensive bag can really get as of late. Some really nice stuff off the dribble. – 8:57 PM

A pair of good plays from Jaxson Hayes helped LAL go up 44-32, as he finished a tough layup after sprinting the court in transition, and then swatted a Grizzly at the rim to spark a transition 3 from Prince. – 8:46 PM
