The Los Angeles Lakers are firmly in control of their first-round playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies after scratching and clawing their way to a 117-111 overtime win in Game 4.
They did so the hard way. They blew a 15-point second-quarter lead and had to endure a second-half slugfest. But they came up with plenty of hustle plays and hard-earned baskets down the stretch to overcome a 97-90 deficit with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
