The Lakers will be looking to get back on track against the Grizzlies as they are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Chicago Bulls on a half-court buzzer-beater by Josh Giddey. L.A. choked that game away and LeBron James was accountable for his role in that.

As far as later firings, Don Nelson was fired by the Mavericks in the 2004-2005 NBA season with just 18 games left in the year.

Cuban replaced Nelson with Avery Johnson for the final 18 games of the season.
