Memphis Grizzlies tie first-round series with LA Lakers 1-1
The Memphis Grizzlies were without star point guard Ja Morant, who was out due to right hand soreness, in Game 2 versus the LA Lakers. However, the home team’s supporting cast stepped up in a massive way to help secure a 103-93 victory.
Memphis, which led by as many as 20 points, had a well-balanced attack, with six players finishing in double figures. The Grizzlies were led by big man Xavier Tillman, who finished with a career-high 22 points, 13 rebounds and three assists on 76.9% shooting.
Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. added 18 points, nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks on 41.7% shooting.
Meanwhile, LA was led by LeBron James, who finished with 28 points, 12 rebounds and three assists on 52.2% shooting. Reserve forward Rui Hachimura added 20 points, five rebounds and two assists on 58.3% shooting.
In doing so, Hachimura became the first Lakers player to score 20-plus points off the bench in back-to-back playoff games since the legendary Magic Johnson in 1996. He notably finished with 29 points during his team's Game 1 victory.
With the win, Memphis improved to 12-10 in games played without Morant this season (regular season and playoffs combined). They notably finished 21-7 without him last year.
The Lakers and Grizzlies' first-round series is now tied at 1-1 heading to LA.
Game 3 will take place on Saturday.
