Q4:
Score: MEM 99 LAL 93
Too many missed opportunities this quarter. The Lakers were down two at some point in this quarter and they couldn't capitalize on an offensive possession to either tie or take the lead and they just couldn't do either. Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q3:
Score: MEM 80 LAL 74
This where things start to get ugly for the Lakers. Credit where its due, the Grizzlies made some adjustments defensively and it's starting to work in their favor. The Lakers committed too many turnovers this quarter that allowed the Grizzlies to make a run and eventually capture the lead they hold onto now. Rebounding was also problem as Randolph was crashing the boards and being aggressive against Hill and Boozer.
Q2:
Score: MEM 46 LAL 51
Yet, another scary quarter. You expect that from the Grizzlies because gritting and grinding is the name of their game and they just grind it out until they put themselves back in the game. Luckily enough, the Lakers are mustering enough offense behind a very aggressive Jeremy Lin who is the first Laker in double figures this game. Onto the halftime report.
Q1:
Score: MEM 21 LAL 26
Well, that quarter wasn't so bad. At first, the Grizzlies were having their way, putting up easy shots in the paint and the Lakers couldn't get going, but Jeremy Lin wanted to get the offense going and he got it going. After the spark Lin gave, the Lakers fed on that and they shot a very good percentage against a gritty Grizzlies team. Down the stretch, it looked like the Grizzlies were going to tie it up with the run they're having, but Ronnie Price's and 1 pushed the Lakers lead by 5. Ed Davis had some good highlights too on defense with the 2 blocks.
