The Los Angeles Lakers headed into Game 5 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday in great shape, holding a 3-1 series lead after claiming the previous two games.
Instead of putting the Grizzlies away for the summer and getting valuable rest before the next series, they fell, 116-99, in Game 5. While it wasn’t totally unexpected for L.A. to lose on Wednesday, the way it lost was.
