Game of the Night
Look no further than the Los Angeles Lakers' roller-coaster win over the Memphis Grizzlies at STAPLES Center!
The Lakers picked up their first win of the season, but it didn't come easy against a Grizzlies side led by a 40-point, 10-assist explosion from Ja Morant. It came right down to the wire after Kent Bazemore fouled Morant on a 3-point attempt with the Lakers in front 119-116 with 2.5 seconds to go.
Morant made the first two and missed the third that would have potentially forced overtime, letting the Lakers off the hook as Carmelo Anthony iced the game with a pair of free throws at the other end.
Anthony was the star man for the Lakers, pouring in a team-high 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting and 6-of-8 from beyond the arc off the bench.

There was plenty to pick from but Miles Bridges' performance against the Brooklyn Nets takes the cake.
