LOS ANGELES — The surge in the New Year continues for the Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers take down the Memphis Grizzlies for the second night in three days at Crypto.com Arena, winning 120-114 on Sunday behind a second-half surge from Luka Dončić and LeBron James.

The final frame began with both teams shooting free throws. LeBron was the first player to score points that weren’t free throws, converting on a layup. His fourth-quarter takeover continued as he drained a 3-pointer to make it a one-point game.
