MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Mike Conley scored 10 of his season-high
28 points in the fourth quarter, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the
Los Angeles Lakers 98-96 on Tuesday night, sending the defending
champs to their third straight loss.
It's just the second three-game skid for the Lakers since they
traded with Memphis for Pau Gasol to team him up with Kobe Bryant
and first since March.
The Grizzlies now have won four straight at home and four of
five overall.
The Lakers had a chance to at least tie the game or win at the
end. Conley lost the ball when he drove the lane and crashed into
Pau Gasol. Kobe Bryant passed to Ron Artest for a 3-pointer for the
win, but Rudy Gay blocked the shot as the Grizzlies held on for
their second win in four games against the defending champions.
