Lakers Beat Grizzlies Behind Knecht's Performance

The Los Angeles Lakers secured a thrilling 128-123 comeback victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, highlighted by LeBron James' historic third consecutive triple-double, marking him as the oldest player in NBA history to achieve this feat. Rookie guard Dalton Knecht emerged as a key player, scoring a career-high 19 points on a perfect shooting night, which included five three-pointers, earning praise from head coach JJ Redick for his pivotal role in the comeback. Despite a sluggish second and third quarter where the Lakers lost their lead, Knecht's energetic performance reignited the team's momentum. Anthony Davis contributed 21 points and 14 rebounds, but faced challenges with foul trouble. Redick's coaching debut has seen mixed reviews, yet this win showcases the potential of his squad to adapt and thrive under pressure. The Lakers now improve to 6-0 at home this season, reflecting a promising start under Redick's leadership.
