The Los Angeles Lakers play the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers lost on Wednesday night to the Sacramento Kings, 116-111, despite holding a 14-point lead in the first quarter. It was their fourth loss in five games. With a 20-25 record, they’re still in position to make a run at a playoff spot, but they could be at an inflection point.
Memphis, on the other hand, is the NBA’s hottest team and holds an 11-game winning streak. It boasts the league’s top defensive rating, and it has scored at least 130 points in four of its last eight contests.
This will be the first meeting this season between the two teams, and it will be the last game of a five-game homestand for L.A.
