Barnes scores 25 as Grizzlies beat Lakers 128-119

Kobe Bryant fans turn out for his last game in Memphis and welcome the Los Angeles Lakers against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum. The matchup will mark the third and final game of Los Angeles' homestand and a single game homestand for Memphis. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers pulled within nine on a couple of occasions.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley (11) drives against Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson during the second half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2016, in Memphis, Tenn.

"We've talked about it, they've talked about it, but at the same time, at this point right now, it's precautionary", Nance told reporters about the prospects of not playing again this season. The Grizzlies led wire-to-wire after former Laker Matt Barnes caught fire from beyond the three-point line early.

Clarkson led the Lakers with 28 points and set a career high with six 3-pointers. Bryant hit his first shot “a 3”, but missed his next three attempts.

Ted Cruz leaps over Donald Trump to lead in new poll
Cruz and legal experts have said he is eligible because his mother was a United States citizen at the time of his birth. The fierce fight over Cruz's campaign ad led Trump to send a cease-and-desist letter demanding that it be taken down.

But the Grizzlies used 18 points from Barnes and 12 from Conley for a 67-58 lead at the break. Julius Randle packed another double-double to go, putting up 11 points and 14 rebounds.

Both the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers are coming off poor nights, especially offensively, and will look to build off them heading into their back-to-back meetings. Hairston and Chris Andersen totaled just three points in their second game since coming over in deadline deals.

Lakers coach Byron Scott said Memphis' scoring was indicative of his team's recent performance.

Vince Carter scored his 23,759th point tonight, passing Charles Barkley on the all-time scoring charts. With a rebound in the second quarter, Randolph passed Johnny Green (9,083) for 48th in career rebounds.... Memphis' previous high for points in a game this season was 120 against Oklahoma City on Nov. 16.

They proclaimed after the game that they're better than the Steel Curtain defense, the '85 Bears, the 2000 Ravens or the '02 Bucs. But players such as Derek Wolfe and Chris Harris Jr. have re-signed over the past two seasons without even testing the market.

Allen sat out because of a knee injury for the Grizzlies, who were also without star center Marc Gasol, who will miss the rest of the season after undergoing foot surgery earlier this week.

 

Included in that total: an arena-record, 60-point night by Bryant in 2007 when he went 20-for-37 from the floor. The average margin of victory in those games is 8.0 points. Luckily for LA, Nick Young came in off the bench with a hot hand and scored eight points before the end of the quarter and helped keep the Lakers to within 10 points at the end of the first quarter.
