Lakers Look Good in Stomping Grizzlies

There were a lot of positives in the Los Angeles Lakers' dominating 124-105 win against the Memphis Grizzlies.

• There was another strong game from Pau Gasol. The reigning NBA Western Conference Player of the Week continued his string of 20-10-5, with 21 points, 13 boards, and 5 dimes. This performance came against his brother Marc in a tough battle in the paint.
• Lamar Odom's all-around game was phenomenal. Although he missed another double-double, Odom was solid with 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. For the game, Odom led the Lakers in minutes played.
• Kobe Bryant rested plenty and only needed 25 minutes to do away with the Grizzlies. Kobe was monster in the first half, scoring more than 20 points. If the game was a close, we would have seen Kobe scoring at least 40 for the first time this season.
• And finally, the bench play was great. The 3-B's (Matt Barnes, Shannon Brown, and Steve Blake) combined for 39 points, and 5-8 from the three-point line. Also worth noting is that Barnes led the game in rebounds with 14.
