Behind a late surge and a balanced attack, the Lakers took a commanding 3-1 series lead on Monday night, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 117-111.
In a game the road team desperately needed to win, the Lakers found a way to protect home-court winning in overtime thanks to LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ gutsy performance.
Despite the Grizzlies expectantly coming out strong out of the gates, it was the Lakers’ role players who helped weather the early storm.
Jarred Vanderbilt, a player mostly known for his defense, finally made some noise with his offense.
