The Milwaukee Bucks also received a potential season-altering blow. Damian Lillard will be out for an unknown amount of time with blood clots on his calf. With the playoffs around the corner, his possible absence could prematurely end their season.

When the Grizzlies announced Friday morning that they'd fired coach Taylor Jenkins, the NBA world had a pretty consistent reaction: shock. Memphis is tied for fourth in the western conference with only nine games left in the regular season, so the Grizzlies made this move while gearing up for a playoff run.

On the contrary, during the three seasons when Jenkins coached the Grizzlies to the playoffs, they always held a top-10 defensive rating. And when the roster is healthy, Memphis tends to be one of the best rebounding teams in the league.

Each of them had at least six rebounds and eight assists, and that production made them the first trio in NBA history to ever have at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists each while also making two 3-pointers apiece.

The Lakers needed a win over the Grizzlies like a fish needs water, so it’s a good thing they got it done. It was a tough game with eight different lead changes, but the Lakers pulled away midway through the fourth and never looked back.

Following a stunning loss in Chicago on Thursday, the Lakers build a 20-point first-half lead and finish with 19 3-pointers as Austin Reaves scores 31 and Luka Doncic adds 29 in a 134-127 win over
