The Memphis Grizzlies (24 - 8) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (10 - 23) 109 - 106 on Friday. Memphis extended their win streak to three games with the victory. Zach Randolph sat out a sixth straight game, giving Jon Leuer another spot start at power forward. The Grizzlies shot 49 percent from the field and 43 percent from beyond the arc with Mike Conley leading the way on offense with a team - high 19 points and nine assists in 32 minutes. Marc Gasol pitched in with a double - double of 18 points and 10 rebounds. Memphis currently sits at third place in the Western Conference standings and will continue their road trip against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Los Angeles has lost four of their last five games as they have struggled to find a proper balance on both sides of the court all season. Jeremy Lin led the way Friday, putting up 20 points and five assists in 28 minutes off the bench. Ed Davis pitched in 20 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes as the starting power forward. Davis was playing through a broken nose that he suffered in their last game and was wearing a protective mask. The Lakers are in second to last place in the Western Conference and will stay home to host the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
