On the verge of elimination, the Grizzlies were able to count on their executives to ensure victory and force a Game 6 once morest the Lakers. With 64 points combined, Ja Morant and Desmond Bane were great on the night.
Back to the wall and very close to a flight to Cancun, the Memphis players had to react tonight. Inevitably, we expected above all that the leaders take their responsibilities. In the tough last game and strangely absent from the press conference, Ja Morant did not shirk this time.
Despite his hand injury and a knee that creaked during the match, the point guard was excellent once morest LA Ready to give his body to science, spectacular, in the oven and in the mill, we had the right to very big Ja Morant (31 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists). He is there to launch his people, he is essential in the third quarter to repel the Lakers before putting their heads under water just before money time. It is still him who comes to finish the job in the last quarter while LA slightly regained hope of a fantastic comeback. A boss, a real one.

If Memphis might count on its Batman, it needed a Robin to come and calm the ardor of the Angelinos. As often this season, Desmond Bane has volunteered for the position. On fire from the start of the game, the back was a real poison for the Lakers. Each of his outbursts has been a blow to the noggin of Darvin Ham and his people. He led the charge at the start of the match before participating in the run of his team in the third quarter.
To be on the safe side, he will ramp up further at the start of money time to ensure that the visitors have understood the lesson, giving Memphis a 25-point lead. Top scorer of the game with 33 points but also 10 rebounds and 5 assists, Bane confirms that he is coming back well following a very complicated start to the series. The Grizzlies will need him to maintain this level if they want to overthrow the Lakers.
