Will the Los Angeles Lakers Overcome the Grizzlies at FedExForum?

As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Lakers' performance in their last game against the Brooklyn Nets on March 31st was nothing short of dominant, with a commanding 116-104 victory. Their offensive efficiency was impressive, boasting a true shooting percentage of 67 percent and sinking 73 percent of their two-point attempts. The defense wasn't far behind either, holding the Nets to a defensive rating just shy of 100 points per possession.

The Lakers have shown they can lead from start to finish, as evidenced by not allowing any lead changes during that game. They also demonstrated depth in scoring with bench points contributing significantly and maintained control throughout with a time leading stat of over 47 minutes.

However, when looking at their previous encounter with the Grizzlies on March 28th, it's clear that this upcoming game could be challenging. Despite winning that high-scoring affair with a scoreline of 136-124, it's worth noting that both teams had strong offensive showings. The Lakers' field goal percentage stood at an efficient 56 percent while maintaining an effective field goal percentage of 67 percent.

The Grizzlies are not to be underestimated though; they managed an impressive bench contribution totaling more than half their points and showed resilience by keeping up in fast break situations despite ultimately falling short.

In contrast to these performances stands the Lakers' outing against Indiana Pacers on March 29th which ended in disappointment for LAL fans as they lost by a margin of nineteen points (90-109). That night highlighted some areas for improvement such as three-point shooting accuracy and turnovers which could prove pivotal against MEM's aggressive defense.

Looking ahead to April 12th at FedExForum in Memphis – where tip-off is scheduled for precisely at 5:00 PM CDT – it will be crucial for LAL to leverage its strengths while addressing weaknesses exposed in past games. Fans can catch this anticipated matchup live on NBA TV, BSSE or SportsNet LA networks depending on their location and preference. Will LAL continue its assertive play or will MEM capitalize on home advantage? Only time will tell if Los Angeles can indeed overcome Memphis once again.
