Giannis = one of the most dominant scorers in history. pic.twitter.com/6465Lgwwxr – 4:39 PM Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwaI know a win is a win, but nothing about tonight was encouraging. Did not seem like they cared about what was on the line. Every key player for Memphis is out and Lakers need Lebron & AD to play 40+ minutes. That was awful – 11:03 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaFinal: Lakers 123, Grizzlies 120This was as ugly and concerning as a win could be at this stage of the season. But LA held on and improves to 46-35 to keep their goal of moving into the 7-8 game alive. AD had 36/14/5. LeBron had 37/10/5.Up next: at the Pelicans on Sunday. – 10:33 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporterGabe Vincent with some important minutes here, as he hit a wing 3, then drew an offensive foul amidst a Lakers run that was capped by AD's put-back of Vincent's transition 3.LAL lead 107-99, now on a 25-8 run. – 9:59 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporterSignifying the importance of this result for LAL, Anthony Davis is staying on the floor to start the 4th Q, after playing the entire 3rd Q. – 9:54 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaThird quarter: Lakers 98, Grizzlies 97LA trailed for the middle five minutes of the third before regaining the lead late. AD has 28 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. LeBron has 25 points but more turnovers (7) than assists (4). A crucial 12 minutes coming up. – 9:53 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporterLAL closed the 3rd Q with a 16-6 push to reclaim the lead at 98-97 with 12 minutes to play.Anthony Davis has done his part as usual, with 28 points, 11 boards, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal already. – 9:52 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporterLeBron really picked things up defensively and sparked a run here, as LAL trim what had grown to a 9-point deficit at the 4:42 mark.Lakers now lead at the 2:00 mark after an AD jumper. – 9:48 PM Dave McMenamin @mctenThe Lakers led by as many as 13 but take just a 68-64 lead into halftime against the heavily depleted Grizzlies. LeBron and AD have 15 pts apiece for LAL; GG Jackson and Jake LaRavia have 17 pts apiece for MEM – 9:08 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaHalftime: Lakers 68, Grizzlies 64Memphis outscored LA 38-34 in the second quarter. AD has 15 points and 6 rebounds. LeBron has 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura each have 10 points. Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson each have 17 points for MEM. – 9:08 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaFirst quarter: Lakers 34, Grizzlies 26Bench unit of AD, TP, Spencer, DLo and Gabe closed the quarter on an 8-0 run. AD has 13 points and 5 rebounds. Austin Reaves has 8 points. LA is shooting 56.5%. Memphis is shooting 37%. The Lakers already have 18 points in the paint. – 8:38 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporterLAL scored the final 8 points of the 1st Q to take a 34-26 lead into the 2nd Q.Anthony Davis, after missing 7 of the last 8 quarters, led the way with 13 points and 5 boards in the period. – 8:36 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporterAnthony Davis has a pair of buckets inside, and Reaves a 3, but LAL have already been outworked for a pair of offensive rebounds leading to points, and conceded a careless turnover leading to a layup resulting in a 7-all early tie in Memphis. – 8:14 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelCEveryone is talking about LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The real question is if the Grizzlies can slow down Rui Hachimura – 7:57 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaLakers' starters in Memphis:D'Angelo RussellAustin ReavesRui HachimuraLeBron JamesAnthony DavisRecord as starters: 16-6 – 7:35 PM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLAAnthony Davis (left eye contusion) and LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) have been upgraded to AVAILABLE for tonight's game at Memphis. – 7:10 PM Dave McMenamin @mctenNew story: In 10th place with two games remaining, Anthony Davis and the Lakers aren't licking their wounds. "You can be the first seed, you still have to win basketball games. So that's our mindset. No matter where we are, we just got to win" es.pn/3Jd7EmO – 2:04 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaAnthony Davis said he's feeling "phenomenal" at shootaround in Memphis today. He also clarified that his eye injury against the Timberwolves was different than the eye injury against the Warriors. He wasn't directly hit in the eye this time but rather the eye area. – 12:19 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_MedinaLakers list Anthony Davis (left eye contusion) as probable for tomorrow's game in Memphis. Lakers list LeBron James (left ankle) as questionable. – 6:31 PM More on this storyline

Welcome to the "Monday Morning Shootaround," Bleacher Report's recap of the weekend that was in the NBA.

Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony.
