The Memphis Grizzlies ( 17 - 16 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers ( 5 - 26 ) 112 - 96 on Sunday . The Grizzlies seem to have discovered a successful formula with their current frontcourt rotation . Coach Dave Joerger moved veteran Zach Randolph to the bench nine games ago , promoting Matt Barnes and Jeff Green to the starting lineup in the process . Since the personnel shift , Randolph has tallied six double - digit scoring performances , while receiving a few extra minutes of valuable rest each night . Meanwhile , both Barnes and Green have put together some productive outings with the additional playing time . Sunday provided a tangible example of the positive results the rotation has brought , with Randolph producing 16 points , three rebounds and a steal over just 20 minutes . Green amassed 17 points and four rebounds himself , while Barnes only managed a modest five points , but hauled in eight boards . The Grizzlies also outscored the Lakers in the paint by the comfortable margin of 44 - 28 , and outrebounded them on the defensive glass , 34 - 28 . The visitors also received solid efforts from three other members of their starting five , Marc Gasol , Mike Conley and Courtney Lee . Gasol pitched in 16 points and added six rebounds and a steal , while the pair of guards combined for 32 points , six rebounds , eight assists and five swipes . Randolph 's aforementioned 16 points paced the Memphis bench , and Mario Chalmers joined him as the other double - digit scoring reserve with 11 points . The backup point guard supplemented his scoring with seven assists and a steal over the season - high 29 minutes he received . The Grizzlies improved their record to 17 - 16 and currently reside in third place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They head home to face the Miami Heat on Tuesday . The Lakers could not follow up their scrappy Christmas Day effort versus the Clippers with a similar performance . They fell into a 59 - 46 hole by halftime , and although they showed some life after intermission , the outcome of the game was never truly in question . Kobe Bryant did continue his stretch of considerably improved play by leading the Lakers with a 19 - point tally on 6 of 15 shooting . He added three assists and a pair of rebounds , and now has 10 straight double - digit scoring games . Rookie Larry Nance , Jr. turned in a notable performance of his own , contributing a career - high 17 points and hauling in 11 boards for his first career double - double . Jordan Clarkson was the only other starter with double - digit points , pouring in 12 and adding three assists and a pair of rebounds . 2015 first - round pick D'Angelo Russell paced the Lakers ' reserves with 10 points , three assists and a steal , his third consecutive double - digit scoring effort . Los Angeles fell to 5 - 26 and remains in last place in the Western Conference 's Pacific Division . They head to Charlotte for a Monday showdown with the Hornets .
