The Los Angeles Lakers improved to 45-29 this season with a 134-127 win over the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum on Saturday. The Lakers got big contributions out of all their top guns, with LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves impressing in the win.
Reaves was the leading scorer on the night with 31 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block. James had 25 points, six rebounds, eight assists, three steals and one block while Doncic put up 29 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and two steals. All three men ended up making at least two 3-pointers on the night, too, and according to StatMamba on X, that meant they made history.

It's not often that we see three players on a team finish with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists. Just in terms of production, this is about as good as it can get from these three. If they can consistently put up numbers along these lines, the Lakers will be very hard to beat.
As for the three-pointers, Reaves went 5-8, James 2-5 and Doncic 2-9. The Slovenian had shot 48.1% from beyond the arc in the five games before this one but struggled with the outside shot against the Grizzlies.

The Lakers have now won the season series against the Grizzlies (3-1) and secured the tie breaker as a result. With the Grizzlies just a game behind the Lakers at 44-30, that could prove to be crucial as far as playoff seeding is concerned.
The Lakers will be in action next against the Houston Rockets at Crypto.com Arena on Monday at 10 PM ET. They sure could do with James, Doncic, and Reaves repeating these heroics against the 48-26 Rockets.
