3 takeaways from the Lakers parading past Memphis to the second round

The Los Angeles Lakers obliterated the Memphis Grizzlies in an end-to-end domination as thorough as you’ll ever see in a closeout game, eventually winning Game 6 by a final score of 125-85 on Friday night.

In other words, they finally gave Dillon Brooks (a) 40 (point loss), which brings us to the first of our three takeaways from a truly enjoyable blowout...

Dillon Brooks is a clown

Brooks, who went into the series hoping to face the Lakers and LeBron James because it would “test us good” to “knock him out in the first round,” found out the hard way that the first part of that was true: Playing against LeBron did indeed test Brooks and his front-running friends, an exam they failed miserably over six games, but none in a more spectacular fireball of ineptitude than Dillon the Villain.
