The Memphis Grizzlies (7 - 1) were able to hold off a late push from the Los Angeles Lakers (1 - 6) with a finishing score of 107 - 102 for their seventh win of the season. The Lakers just ca n't seem to get over the hump, and are off to a tough start through their first seven games of the season. Even with Kobe Bryant lighting up the box score with 28 points (10 - 26 FG, 3 - 10 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT), to go along with seven rebounds, six assists and four steals, it just was n't enough. The Lakers got some solid production from their starters, with all five players scoring in double figures, but the bench totaled just 14 points in the loss. Jordan Hill posted a double - double with 13 points (6 - 17 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and 14 rebounds, while also contributing three assists, two steals and two blocks. The Lakers now head to New Orleans to take on the Pelicans on Wednesday. The Grizzlies on the other hand are looking like a serious contender right now, and a large part of that is thanks to their consistency across the board. Six players scored in double figures, but every player who was on the floor contributed in some manner when they were out there. Mike Conley led the way scoring 23 points (7 - 16 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 7 - 7 FT), with three assists, three steals and one rebound. Even the lone starter who did n't score in double figures, Marc Gasol, nearly had a triple - double, with eight points (3 - 10 FG, 2 - 2 FT), nine assists and eight rebounds. The Grizzlies get a night off before taking on the Sacramento Kings at home on Thursday.
