Memphis is playing in the third contest of a four-game California road trip and fell to 1-1 on the excursion after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers 116-102 on Tuesday. Grizzlies center Marc Gasol played despite suffering a sprained left ankle and contributed 22 points, seven assists and six boards in the setback.
