Triumph in Memphis for LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers and break with the “good evening”
A great performance by the Lakers in Memphis and a break against the Grizzlies (128-112) to make it 1-0 in the West Playoffs first round series.
She wasn’t (and maybe still isn’t) the series favorite, but the Lakers showed with the good evening in the playoffs that experience will always matter at this stage of the season. The Los Angeles team broke Memphis (128-112) and are now hoping LeBron James will have a healthy Anthony Davis and the supporting cast by his side in the unlikely situation he found himself in against Ja Morad’s company.
The king ended the match with a beautiful 21/11/5/2/3 without being under any particular pressure, Anthony Davis, scaring everyone with 1-2 minor injuries, hit a double-double and had 7 blocks, but the The real difference was made by Rui Hachimura (29 points in 30 minutes) and Austin Reeves (23 points from 13 shots) in a night they will remember for the rest of their lives. The Lakers made 16 threes, they were tough, they were crucial and now they need to show consistency.
The Grizzlies, on the other hand, had Jaren Jackson in impressive form (31 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) but Bain-Brooks wasn’t effective. Ja Morad had 18 points on 14 shots and two assists for six turnovers before landing late in the game lying awkwardly on the ground and having to give up with an injured wrist. In general, Memphis can’t cover up the absence of Steven Adams and now has a mountain to climb as the Lakers play with unmatched motivation.
56-56 bat points, 17-26 surprise points, 24-39 substitute points, 15-22 opponent errors, 10-22 second chance points.
