Behind a rout, the Lakers are now only the sixth seven seed to take down a two-seed after finishing off the Memphis Grizzlies, 125-85, in Game 6.
Despite the stakes, the game was never in question as the Lakers dominated from the tip behind a 22-point performance from LeBron James, a 16 points 14 rebound outing from Anthony Davis and a breakout D’Angelo Russell game who ended the night with 31 points.
The victory punches the Lakers’ ticket to the second round where they will face the winner between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.
