"I think LeBron was fantastic tonight," Redick said ... But Redick was clearly unhappy with the effort other players had against the Grizzlies. Once again, the Lakers got beat in the effort categories. They were outrebounded by 13, gave up 27 fast ...

With Davis out for the game due to injury, 39-year-old James shouldered the load last night and scored a game-high 39 points to match his age. It was not nearly enough to overcome the young, wily Grizzlies, who cruised to a 131-114 win despite turning the ball over seven more times than Los Angeles.

That the rest of the Lakers couldn’t match the effort level of 39-year-old LeBron James on Wednesday night left first-year coach J.J. Redick quite perturbed. Redick stormed out of his postgame press conference after being asked how he would address that James displayed more effort than his teammates and that several players needed to provide more following the 131-114 road loss to the Grizzlies.
