Game Preview
Following a hard-fought Game 4 overtime victory of 117-111, the LA Lakers hold a 3-1 lead in the series, giving them a significant advantage. Although they lost several big leads, LeBron James scored a crucial last-second layup to send the game into overtime, leaving Lakers fans optimistic that their team can advance to the second round and eliminate the #2 seed by winning just one of the next three games.
The Lakers’ success in Game 4 was a group effort, with six players scoring at least 12 points, including Jarred Vanderbilt, Austin Reaves, and D’Angelo Russell, who outscored Anthony Davis, despite LeBron James making some significant plays.
The Lakers’ focus on defense has been a key factor in their winning streak, exposing the Grizzlies’ offensive shortcomings. Over the past three games, Memphis has only managed a 1.002 Offensive Efficiency rating, which is worse than Cleveland and Brooklyn’s performance in their last three games. The Lakers’ defense has improved significantly after the All-Star break and has played a critical role in the Grizzlies’ poor shooting.

The Grizzlies have an opportunity to turn things around in Game 5 at home, where their 36-7 SU home record this year may give them an edge. However, to avoid elimination, they must remain focused and composed despite their struggles.
The Los Angeles Lakes will look to finish this series in tonight’s game, however, they will have a very complicated game after LeBron James’ injury. On the other hand, we will see if the Grizzlies will be able to extend the series, although it seems to be very difficult for this to happen after the performance shown in the last two games of the series.
