MEMPHIS -- Desmond Bane backed up his previous declaration and issued another one.
Two nights after promising that the Memphis Grizzlies would stave off elimination, Bane delivered in a 116-99 Game 5 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, scoring a game-high 33 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out five assists. Then Bane guaranteed that the Grizzlies would return to FedExForum, where they had the best home record in the NBA this season.
"We got to come with the right edge and the right road mentality, but I said it out there and I'll say it again," Bane said.
