Rui Hachimura tallied 32 points, including a career-high seven three-pointers, to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 136-124 on Wednesday.

The Japanese national team forward also pulled down 10 rebounds at FedExForum in Memphis to record double-doubles in back-to-back games.

The 26-year-old Hachimura shot a remarkable 7-from-8 from beyond the arc and 11-from-14 overall as he led Los Angeles in scoring.
