04/13: LAKERS vs. Memphis Grizzlies Q-by-Q Reaction


Q4:

Score: MEM 102 LAL 90

Just another game where the Lakers look competitive, but they let the game slip away as the opposing team turns it up. Memphis is very much alive in the playoff hunt and they're dangerous as usual for the other 7 Western Conference teams. A bitter end for Laker fans on the last home game this season. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3:

Score: MEM 87 LAL 69

34-17, the official score of the 3rd quarter. Lakers are starting to let this game slip away right now. Credit to the Grizzlies for turning up their defense to work the tempo into their favor. Lucky enough a rally is still eligible because the Lakers are down 18.

Q2:

Score: MEM 53 LAL 52

All I can say is "aah" on that last play. Grizzlies made a good run, but a pretty game. Highlight of the night in this quarter, Nick Young's acrobatic 360 reverse layup. Whew, onto the halftime report.

Q1:

Score: MEM 23 LAL 27

On one side, you got a Grizzlies team that wants to play at a slow pace and the other, the Lakers play up tempo to run and the Lakers are working their style over this gritty Grizzlies team. Of course the Grizzlies are playing desperation ball to clinch a playoff spot and the Lakers are trying to end with something positive in their last home game. Good quarter for the Lakers so far.
