The Los Angeles Lakers were engaged in a fierce dogfight with the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series, and they had to fight from behind for a good portion of the second half.
But the overall play of LeBron James kept them in contention until they could find a way to go ahead.
