Los Angeles Lakers have increased their losing streak to four now that have fallen to the Memphis Grizzlies at their home with coach Darvin Ham giving too much playing time to players that shouldn't while leaving on the bench some that deserve an opportunity.

Tarean Prince played 35 minutes in another forgettable night for the wing despite having scored 10 points, but his extended playing time is not justified while players like Jaxson Hayes don't get an opportunity.

Cam Reddish scored 8 points but was a starter and played 32 minutes, the forward has been another case that shouldn't stay for that long on the court while Christian Wood on 17 minutes of playing time scored 11 points with 5 rebounds.

Despite having improved their 3-point shooting compared to the night they had vs. Miami Heat, the team keeps been a disaster with their distance shooting as they scored 10 out of 28 attempts for 35.7%, not enough to get a win as the team lost 127-113 to the Grizzlies on the fourth quarter.

Grizzlies one of the worst 3-point shooting teams got their best night vs. LA

"Take your hat off to [the Grizzlies], they shot the hell out of the ball... It seems to be the pattern, people are stepping their game up when they come into our building. We got to meet force with force," said Darvin Ham on the Grizzlies shooting 50% from 3.
