After burning all their wildcards, Memphis had no room for error last night in Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The duo of Ja Morant (31 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists) and Desmond Bane (33 points, 10 rebounds) took matters into their own hands to extend the happiness by coming back in the series at 3-2. The Grizzlies quickly took the game by the right side to dominate it all night despite an Anthony Davies (31 points, 19 rebounds) of great nights.
Lebron James on the other hand was far from his (15 points, 10 rebounds) with a nasty 1/9 from three points. With this victory (116-99), Memphis can breathe but will have to equalize in the next game, otherwise hello the vacations.
