The Los Angeles Lakers had a nice answer to their road woes, as they came up with a big 116-111 double OT win over the Memphis Grizzlies Tuesday night.
It was a nice win for L.A. because had they lost, Memphis would have passed them for third place in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies have now lost just six games all year at home.
The Lakers' woes on the road are well documented, and they are still just 8-15 as the away team. This was a big win, but it should be mentioned that they were taking on a Memphis team playing without not just Zach Randolph, who has been out for most of the season, but also their leading scorer in Rudy Gay.
