The Memphis Grizzlies pulled off a huge win against the struggling Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night, thanks in large part to Marcus Smart’s impressive performance. Smart led the Grizzlies with 27 points and 8 three-pointers, helping them to a 127-113 victory.
The Grizzlies were able to take control of the game early on, leading by as much as 19 points in the first half. Smart was instrumental in the team’s success, scoring 17 points in the first half alone. He continued his hot shooting in the second half, finishing with 8 three-pointers and 27 points overall.
Smart’s performance was even more impressive considering the fact that he had been struggling with his shooting prior to Wednesday night’s game. He had only made one three-pointer in his previous four games, but he was able to turn things around against the Lakers. His 8 three-pointers were a season-high for him and helped the Grizzlies secure the win.
The Grizzlies were also able to get contributions from other players, including Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant who both scored 20 points. The team was able to take advantage of the Lakers’ struggles, who have now lost five of their last six games.
The win was a huge boost for the Grizzlies, who have been struggling lately. They are now 4-5 in their last nine games and have moved up to sixth place in the Western Conference standings.
Marcus Smart’s performance was a big part of the Grizzlies’ success on Wednesday night. His 8 three-pointers were a season-high and helped lead the team to a 127-113 victory over the struggling Lakers.
