LeBron James whipped a pass to Cam Reddish, who was standing behind the three-point arc when he caught the basketball. With Ziarie Williams closing out on him, Reddish pump-faked the Memphis forward to clear some room. Reddish then calmly reset his feet and confidently knocked down the three-ball early in the second quarter.
Reddish sheepishly smiled, as did the rest of his teammates, all of them sensing it was going to be that kind of night for the typically poor-shooting Lakers from behind the three-point line.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers had shot 55% from three-point range, going 11 for 20, a big reason why they led by 23 points after the first 24 minutes of play during the in-season tournament game against the Grizzlies.
