Magical Lakers, equalized the Grizzlies in Game 6 and advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs
The Lakers were in Game 6 of the series against the Grizzlies from Another Planet, beating Memphis 125-85 in LA and advancing to the 2nd round of the playoffs where they await their opponent.
The Lakers are still here. The Lakers keep looking up. Losing Game 5 in Memphis only delayed the inevitable. At home, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies 125-85 in Game 6 and advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs, where – on home advantage – they meet the Warriors against the winner of the Kings series.
LA left no room for Memphis. He escaped by double digits in the first third. He escaped in the second period. And it sealed the game for good in the third period, so the Grizzlies threw in the towel early in the fourth period, emptying their bench with 9 minutes left. Yes, the Lakers were that much better.
D’Angelo Russell led by 31 points, LeBron James by 22 points and Anthony Davis with 16 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, giving Defensive Player of the Year (Jaren Jackson) a defensive lesson on him.
For the Grizzlies — who never got into the spirit of the game in the biggest game of the season — Sandy Aldama led the team with 16 points, Desmond Bain had 15 points (but on shooting 5/16), Jackson needed to be held to 12 points at 3/12 shooting and Ja Morad – who has played with a serious problem in his right hand (the one that shoots) since the beginning of the series – is limited to 10 points at 3/16 shooting.
