Doncic returned in this game, partnering with Reeves, Smart, Ayton, and Hachimura. The Grizzlies, Landale, Jaren Jackson Jr., Jaylen Wells, Pope, and Morant took the lead. The Grizzlies took the initiative in the opening stage and took the lead at 10:4. The Lakers responded offensively and seized the substitution. The opportunity of the substitutes led to an offensive climax. At 31:27 in the first quarter, the Lakers had a slight advantage. At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides fell into a "tug of war". After that, the Lakers' offense "cut off the power" and did not score for a long time. The Grizzlies "set off an offensive climax" and played a wave of 27:4, leading by 15 points. The Lakers recovered some points, but after halftime, they fell behind 69:55.

After changing sides, the Grizzlies' offensive efficiency dropped. In the first half of the third quarter, the Lakers hit an offensive climax and completed the lead. After that, the two sides alternated the lead. After three quarters, the Lakers trailed 89:91. The suspense continued. In the final quarter, the Lakers made a wave. The Grizzlies went ahead with the score at 7:0. The Grizzlies' offense was powered off. Doncic and Rui Hachimura hit consecutive three-pointers. The Lakers seized the lead. The Grizzlies played a strong performance in the last two minutes, but it did not help. The final whistle sounded, and the Lakers reversed and won 117:112.

In this game, the Grizzlies maintained a slight lead in rebounds, assists and steals, and made 2 fewer turnovers than the Lakers. They fell behind by 4 points in the first quarter. They played an efficient offense in the second quarter, winning 42:24 by 18 points, but lost the entire game. 25 mistakes were made, allowing the opponent to score 26 points on free throws. This alone lost 10 points, and the number of two-pointers and three-pointers was also able to maintain a slight lead. For key players, the defensive pressure was not enough, and key opportunities could not be grasped, causing the Grizzlies to lose the game.

Doncic came back in this game and played 38 minutes. He hit 6 three-pointers, 14 of 27 field goals, 10 of 13 free throws, 44 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, and a shooting rate of over 60%. He did well in scoring and rebounding, and his offensive efficiency is incredible. He has three-pointers and mid-range. The shooting is reasonable and the efficiency is stable. The only flaw is that he made 5 turnovers, most of which were "unforced errors." Especially when he dropped the ball to the basket, he chose too casually, giving the opponent more opportunities to counterattack. He was also a little lax on the defensive end, but maybe he just came back and needs to adjust his condition and physical fitness. A little ups and downs are understandable.

Rui Hachimura had poor offensive efficiency throughout the game and was not active enough. Smart was comprehensive enough and could open up the offensive space, shoot singles, and draw fouls to score 2+1. His performance was positive.

Laravia came off the bench and made 5 of 8 shots, contributing 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and only 1 turnover. His offensive efficiency was stable, his defensive judgment was accurate, and his steals were timely. He became a surprise player on the bench, especially in the critical stage of the 4th quarter, which was "very impressive."

Reeves performed well during the absence of the Lakers' dual-core, scoring consecutively. In this game, he made 5 of 14, 2 of 8 outside shots, and scored 21 points. 9 points came from free throws, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. After Doncic's return, Reeves's "tactical status changed" and his shooting rights were reduced, and he needed to re-adapt. The efficiency of catching and shooting in this game Poor, the running-in between him and Doncic will take time. How the two can achieve a balance and achieve the effect of 1+1>2 is a problem that the Lakers coach must solve. Otherwise, when James returns, the so-called "Big Three lineup" ball distribution and other related issues will be difficult to solve, affecting the team's "combat effectiveness."
