So much for Bane's prediction of a game 7. Lakers blow out MEM in game 6 and
will advance to GSW/SAC West Coast Semi-Finals on Sunday. Lakers still haven't
cured their BH/RBing issues, but they stepped up their O/D to get the easy W.
Only 4 guys in DFs with AD getting the lone DD. I'm surprised there were only
4 guys in DFs with only 2 over 20 pts. Let's see how they fare in the WCSFs
against SSAC/GSW - SAC played them a lot tougher than GS, so I'd rather see a
GSW match-up. 125-85 Lakers win by 40 in a B/O.
FBP: 9 vs 6; PIP: 52 vs 32; POT: 19 vs 19; SCP: 20 vs 9.

Recap from https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401541232

D'Angelo Russell torches Memphis with 31 as the Lakers put on a show to
advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

LOS ANGELES -- Anthony Davis had 16 points and 14 rebounds while
blocking five shots in a spectacular defensive performance, DAngelo
Russell scored a career playoff-high 31 points and the Los Angeles
Lakers completed their first-round upset of the Memphis Grizzlies with
a 125-85 victory in Game 6 on Friday night.

LeBron James scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting for the
seventh-seeded Lakers, who emphatically clinched a playoff series in
their own arena for the first time since 2012.

The Lakers won all three of their home games in the series, and the
final victory was a scary demonstration of their capabilities when
James and Davis are both healthy. Davis' imposing defensive presence
largely shut down Memphis' offense in Game 6, while Russell's five
3-pointers highlighted an impressive offensive effort from a
late-blooming team with championship aspirations.

The Lakers took a 20-point lead in the first half and went up by 36 in
the third quarter before coasting to victory before superfan Jack
Nicholson and a roaring crowd. James and Davis even got to sit out the
entire fourth quarter, preserving their legs for the second round.

The Lakers had to win a play-in game just to reach a playoff series,
although this star-studded team is no ordinary seventh seed. Los
Angeles opens its next series on the road Tuesday against the winner of
Sunday's Game 7 between Sacramento and defending champion Golden State.

Ja Morant scored 10 points on 3-of-16 shooting for the Grizzlies, who
won 107 games and two Southwest Division titles in the past two
seasons, but just one playoff series.

Morant's injured right hand appeared to hamper his shot, and he seemed
unwilling to drive the paint with his usual fearlessness while Davis
loomed in the middle. Morant's teammates couldn't pick him up: Desmond
Bane, who guaranteed a Game 7, had 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting, while
Jaren Jackson Jr. had 14 on 3-of-12 shooting.

Dillon Brooks, the Memphis agitator who dismissed James as old after
Game 2 and then got ejected from Game 3 for striking James in the
groin, finished a dismal series performance with 10 points in Game 6
while Lakers fans booed his every move.

The Lakers hadn't won a playoff series outside the Florida bubble in 11
years, enduring a dismal decade-plus for a 17-time champion franchise
with a fan base used to excellence.

James and Davis have won a title together, but they had done little to
remember in front of their home fans before the past two months, when
their supporting cast markedly improved at the trade deadline with
several additions headlined by Russell. The dynamic duo improved to 5-0
in playoff series in which they both appeared in every game together.

The Grizzlies had the second-worst road record among the NBA's 16
playoff teams in the regular season, and they lost their first four
road games against the Lakers this season. They fell into a 3-1 hole in
this series with back-to-back losses in Los Angeles, but staved off
elimination by winning in Memphis on Wednesday.

Lakers fans sensed the enormity of the moment and turned out in force,
highlighted by the return of the 86-year-old Nicholson to his courtside
seats after a nearly two-year absence. Their team delivered, jumping to
a 20-point lead in the first half and stretching it to 36 in the third
quarter.

The Grizzlies played without 3-point threat Luke Kennard due to a sore
shoulder, further hurting the depth on a roster already missing injured
regulars Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke.

JACK'S BACK

Nicholson watched his beloved team for the first time since October
2021, returning to his usual seats alongside his son. The Lakers' most
famous fan has been a fixture at courtside for the last half-century,
and the Oscar-winning actor got a huge ovation from his fellow
supporters whenever his face appeared on the scoreboard.

TIP-INS

Grizzlies: Kennard went through a pregame workout before getting ruled
out. He got a stinger in Game 5. ... Xavier Tillman scored two points
in 18 minutes.

Lakers: Nicholson's return was the highlight of a celebrity-studded
night at courtside, where the fans included Larry David, Dr. Dre, Adele
and Kyrie Irving, who got a big hug from James before the game. Irving
is a free agent this summer, and he has been linked to a reunion with
James repeatedly in recent years. ... Austin Reaves had 11 points,
eight assists and six rebounds.
