Schröder completed a three-point play with 7.6 seconds left after he stole the ball from Desmond Bane near midcourt, and the Lakers held on to snap Memphis’ 11-game winning streak, 122-121.
LOS ANGELES — Lakers fans’ nails have been whittled to nubs over the last two weeks. Seven of the team’s last nine games have come down to one possession in the last minute.
Dennis Schröder plucked victory from the hands of Desmond Bane, taking advantage of a double team and dashing down for an and-one layup that proved to be the edge the Lakers needed in a thrilling 122-121 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at Crypto.com Arena. Schröder finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and eight assists – a performance perhaps second only to Russell Westbrook in keeping the Lakers competitive with the Grizzlies, who had five scorers with 16 points or more.
James and Westbrook made a pair of critical putbacks for each other in the final minutes to keep the Lakers within striking distance.
