The grit - and - grind Memphis Grizzlies ( 44 - 17 ) took home the 97 - 90 win over the Los Angeles Lakers ( 16 - 45 ) on Friday . The Grizzlies are 5 - 3 since returning from the All-Star break , doing enough to stay nestled between the Western Conference-leading Golden State Warriors and the third - place Portland Trial Blazers for second place in West playoff standings . Zach Randolph led the way with a team - high 24 points and 13 rebounds in 37 minutes to help the Grizzlies put a bowtie on their season series with the Lakers , having won all four matchups . Rookie point guard Jordan Clarkson scored a career - high 25 points , but after he made a two - point field goal to put the Lakers up 75 - 67 with 11 minutes left in the game , Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger put Tony Allen on the rookie , and the Grizzlies roared back , with Clarkson bottled up so bad that he only got off two more shots the rest of the way and missed both of them . Still trailing 87 - 86 with 1:50 left in the game , Jeff Green stole the ball on a bad pass from Jordan Hill , and Green ended up being fouled , which sent him to the line to knock down both of his free throws and give the Grizzlies the lead they would never relinquish . Memphis will travel to New Orleans to play the Pelicans on Saturday , and the Lakers will return home to host the Mavericks on Sunday , when they will try to stop their four - game skid .
