The Memphis Grizzlies took down the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night in a 131-114 win that featured a lot of fireworks between the game's two biggest stars. Ja Morant and LeBron James dueled for most of the evening; Memphis's superstar point guard finished with 20 points in 24 minutes while The King put up an impressive 39-point, seven-rebound, six-assist statline.
Both players were happy to let the other know about their success, too. They were going back-and-forth with the trash-talking all evening. Things peaked late in the second quarter, when James bowled over Morant for a layup and made the popular "too small" gesture as Morant lay on the floor.
