Memphis Grizzlies guards Ja Morant and Desmond Bane combined for 64 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists, forcing a Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 116-99 victory in their first-round series.
Memphis' performance spoiled double-doubles from Los Angeles' Anthony Davis , LeBron James and D'Angelo Russell . Austin Reaves added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Lakers in defeat.
On the backs of their backcourt, the Grizzlies pushed the pace from the jump against a Lakers team that prefers to grind in the halfcourt, where Davis and company own the West's best defense in the playoffs. Memphis thrust a 14-point, first-quarter lead to 56-39 inside the five-minute mark of the second quarter.
An Austin Reaves 3-pointer and no-look alley-oop to James sparked an 8-0 run over the next two minutes, cutting the Lakers' deficit to nine, and there the margin remained until halftime, when Memphis led, 61-52.
