Lakers Weekly Recap: What Went Right, What Went Wrong As Injuries Force Players To Step Up

Behind winning two of three games this past week, the Los Angeles Lakers are now 16-10 on the season and sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference. The team knew it would be without Rajon Rondo, but also lost Brandon Ingram to a sprained ankle in the first game of the week.

Fortunately, other players were ready to step up in his absence. It was an unusual week in which the Lakers played the San Antonio Spurs in back-to-back games, winning the first contest 121-113 at Staples Center but losing the rematch in San Antonio, 133-120.

They finished the three-game stretch with an impressive 111-88 road victory over a good Memphis Grizzles team.
