Morad didn’t play, but Memphis tied a series 1-1 with the Lakers

The game had one major absence. Yes Morad, who injured his wrist towards the end of Game 1 of the series. The young superstar didn’t play, but the Grizzlies found a way to make up for his absence by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 103-93 to level the game 1-1 before traveling to California for the next two games.

Xavier Tillman, the man replacing Steven Adams, did things and wonders (22 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists), Jaren Jackson and Desmond Bane weren’t as effective as they wanted, but they got the job done and Tyus Jones , an extremely underrated point guard brilliantly managed a Memphis team that had 24 assists on 10 turnovers.

For their part, the Lakers shot poorly from the perimeter and after LeBron James (28 points, 12 rebounds) – Rui Hachimura (20 points on 12 shots) – had no one else on a really good night. Anthony Davies had his good moments but mainly on defence, Russell-Reeves were not consistent in the executive part but Darwin Ham’s team achieved their goal, clinched the break and returned to their base in good competitive and mental shape.
