The Los Angeles Lakers

overcame a

third-quarter letdown with a strong fourth quarter surge to beat the

Memphis Grizzlies

— a team they

very well could play in the first round of the playoffs — 117-105. The Lakers led by 19 points at halftime and appeared set to cruise to an easy victory, but a combination of the Grizzlies ratcheting up their intensity on defense and the Lakers coming out as flat as possible to start the third quarter allowed Memphis to cut their deficit to as little as five points in fourth frame. But ultimately, as has been the case so many times this season, LeBron

James and

Anthony Davis

were too

much to overcome down the stretch once again. James

drove to

the rim with force all game, getting rewarded with 12 free throws, making 11 of them en route to 32 points. Davis used a series of acrobatic finishes to overcome a first half calf injury and end the night with 27 points and 13 rebounds and 7 blocks. The playing time breakdown between Alex Caruso

and Rajon

Rondo

continues to baffle. Plus-minus is not a perfect stat, but it’s hard to ignore it when it continues to paint such a stark picture. Caruso

was a +22 in

23 minutes, making all the little plays (including a nice tip-dunk off a free-throw miss to expand the lead in the fourth. Meanwhile, Rondo

was again a

minus on defense and mostly a non-threat on offense to finish a -7 in

16 minutes.

Now, Caruso obviously got _more _minutes than Rondo did, but eventually, Frank Vogel

and the

Lakers are going to have to set locker room politics aside and go with backcourt pairings not featuring Rondo

even more

often, whether he’s being paired with Danny Green, Avery Bradley or (especially) Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. If not for those guys, it’s at least hard to believe Quinn Cook or Troy Daniels might not at least be able to give the Lakers a different element than Rondo does. Still, despite the second-half letdown, the Lakers still moved to 42-12, finishing the night with their fourth straight win, and third win of the season against the Grizzlies, clinching the season series with one game still to play. They will now get tomorrow off before hosting the Boston Celtics

for a crucial,

nationally televised showdown on Sunday.
