EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Who said the Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t make threes?

Whatever issues they had shooting the ball dissolved Tuesday in a breezy 134-107 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at Crypto.com Arena.

The Lakers made 22 three-pointers, tying the franchise record for a game and making a massive U-turn from their shooting struggles so far this season.

Five Lakers made at least three three-pointers as the team improved to 6-5 in its first easy victory this season.

D’Angelo Russell led the three-for-all, making six of eight on the way to 24 points. Austin Reaves made all four of his attempts from deep and totaled 16 points.

LA came into the game at or near the bottom in every major three-point category. The team was 29th in three-point accuracy, 30th in threes attempted and tied for 29th in made threes.

The Lakers made only four three-pointers all night in a gritty victory two nights earlier against Portland. They made six threes in the first quarter alone Tuesday.

LA made 22 threes in a game only one other time — February 2019 against Boston.

“Ball movement from side to side is going to open up [the offense],” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. “Guys are open, guys aren’t hesitating. They just shot the ball.”

The Lakers (6-5) even led at halftime, 74-51, ending their longest streak ever to start a season without being ahead at the half.

Anthony Davis continued his early season dominance with 19 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and a whopping six blocked shots.

“I just try to protect the paint and do everything defensively,” Davis told Spectrum SportsNet. “Just funnel everybody to me, and I’ll do the rest.”

Is this the year Davis finally wins the NBA defensive player of the year award? It was a question asked by Spectrum SportsNet analyst Metta World Peace, who won the award in 2004 with the Indiana Pacers.

“I’ve been doing this for a while, and I’ve yet to get one… I don’t know what else to do,” Davis said, smiling. “Just keep doing what I’m doing, and hopefully one day I’ll hoist that trophy.”

An under-the-radar important part of the game was also Davis and LeBron James sitting out the entire fourth quarter. No need for them to play with the Lakers so far ahead.

The Grizzlies (2-9) are a team in trouble. Ja Morant is not even halfway through a 25-game suspension for brandishing a gun in an Instagram Live video a few months ago. Steven Adams was lost for the season after undergoing knee surgery last month.

The Grizzlies had trouble scoring from the start. Jaren Jackson Jr. missed his first seven shots while Luke Kenard missed his first five.

They also had trouble defending.

The Lakers scored 37 points in each of the first and second quarters and led at the end of the third, 107-86.

LA also moved to 5-0 at home and remained one of only four teams without a loss on their home court.

James had 16 points, nine rebounds and six assists in only 22 minutes after a one-game absence because of a bruised shin. He also made three three-pointers.

“Still not 100% but good enough for me to get out there,” James said.

LA improved to 2-0 in the in-season tournament and continue play Wednesday with a tricky back-to-back at home against the high-tempo Sacramento Kings.
