    FINAL: Grizzlies 85-125 Lakers

    LOS ANGELES LAKERS ARE HEADED TO THE SEMIFINALS! LeBron, Davis and Russell come up with big time performances to ensure a 4-2 win over the Grizzlies. Davis produced a defensive masterclass with 14 rebounds on the night.

    Los Angeles Lakers will look put a disoriented performance in game five behind it and seal a place in the Western Conference semifinals when it hosts Memphis Grizzlies.

    The Lakers’ below-par shooting allowed the Grizzlies to stick a foot in the door and force a sixth game with the score at 3-2.

    Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, like the previous matches in the series, came up clutch for Taylor Jenkins’ team.

    A win tonight for the Grizzlies would give the home court advantage back to them and take the series to Memphis for the decider.

    If the Lakers win, they’ll become just the second team, after Miami Heat, to qualify through the Play-In and win a Playoffs series.
