(UPDATE) MEMPHIS: LeBron James had a triple-double with 23 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists; Rui Hachimura scored 32 points; and the Los Angeles Lakers built a big lead in the third quarter and beat the Memphis Grizzlies 136-124 on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila).

Coming off a 128-124 double-overtime victory in Milwaukee without James on Tuesday night, the Lakers won their fifth straight to pull within 2 1/2 games of idle Dallas for the sixth spot in the Western Conference, a spot that would avoid a play-in game.
