The Memphis Grizzlies are not yet done with their postseason run. Trailing 1-3 to the Los Angeles Lakers after Game 4, Ja Morant and the Grizzlies made full use of the home-court advantage. Following game-winning plays in Game 4, LeBron James‘ inadequacy in this game was a concern for the Lakers. Even though AD redeemed himself on offense last night, the Grizzlies took over in the third quarter. Following the unexpected loss, James took the blame as he gave a promising statement ahead of Game 6 back at LA.

While coming back from a 3-1 deficit looked almost impossible, after Grizzlies’ late takeover yesterday, seems like anything can happen in these playoffs.

LeBron James was his own biggest detractor

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies went back and forth till the third quarter when Desmond Bane and Ja Morant started to turn the game around. Trailing by just 3 points, the Lakers had a great chance of winning the series, however, the 24-year-old Bane’s impeccable three-point shooting helped the Grizzlies bag a crucial win by a huge margin.?

The game was effectively over after Morant and Bane went on a 21-point run in the third quarter. Anthony Davis, who dropped a massive 31 points and 19 rebounds, couldn’t help but watch his team fall prey to the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, King James had a night to forget.

LeBron James mentioned after the game 5 loss,?“Tonight, I was sh*t.” Further, the four-time NBA champion added, “And I’ll be better in game 6”?as he gave an assurance ahead of the next crucial game.?

In Game 4, LeBron sent the game to overtime and ensured the Lakers took a commanding 3-1 lead. However, the King was not efficient for his team in this game. Dropping a low 15 points on 29% shooting, LeBron just couldn’t get going. Nonetheless, his teammates aren’t too worried about his performance.

Anthony Davis believes in LBJ

Though James was inefficient today, Anthony Davis believes the four-time MVP will be fine for the game in LA. When asked about James’ performance, AD mentioned, “He has the most points scored ever. He?s the greatest to ever touch the court. He?s fine… He?ll adjust.” Seems like both the stars are confident ahead of Game 6.

AD has not played more than 40 minutes this series except for Game 4, which went to overtime. However, the eight-time All-Star believes he can contribute more minutes as he conveyed he is ready to play more than 40 minutes to win Game 6.?
