The need to make Luka Dončić work on defense on Friday
The Memphis Grizzlies will kick off the new year with a mini-series in Los Angeles against the Lakers. The latter has some weaknesses, but they have been far away a better team this season. Additionally, this won’t be easy because the Lakers are on full alert after getting embarrassed in their last two home games by the Houston Rockets on Christmas and the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.
In Memphis’ case, they’ve struggled to get over the hump of Play-In seeding and have failed to get back to .500 whenever there’s a chance. One of the important things they’ll need to do on Friday is defend without fouling, since the Lakers are top-three in free-throw attempts. They can’t be permitted to slow the game down or put players in foul trouble, which would only bring in inferior subs for Memphis.
