A 136-124 game made the Suns completely panicked, the Lakers won five consecutive wins, and the Western Conference play-off pattern changed again

The NBA regular season is still in full swing, as the ninth in the West Lakers away to the 13th in the West Grizzlies, after the Lakers can be said to be in hot form, they have beaten the Hawks, 76ers, Pacers, Bucks in the last four games, and they will basically lack a few big players in each game. The Lakers are now two wins away from the top eight in the West, and they need to take advantage of these relatively easy games.

At the beginning of the game, it was the Grizzlies who took the lead in breaking the scoring drought, but the Lakers did not panic, and with the help of Reaves, the Lakers slowly took the initiative in the game. And Hayes, who started in place of thick eyebrows, also played well in the first quarter, scoring 8 points on 3-of-3 shooting in 10 minutes of play, also thanks to the passes given to him by Reeves and Russell. In the middle, with the help of James, the Lakers once extended the difference to double digits, but unfortunately as soon as he got off the court, the score was quickly caught up, and finally the Lakers only led by 1 point at 37-36 after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, James slowly began to exert his strength, he continued to score points with difficult mid-range and breakthroughs, and he would also use his containment to find teammates in the open position, although there were times when the Grizzlies overtook him in the middle, but fortunately, the Lakers were experienced and quickly regained the lead. The Lakers' second-best performance in this quarter was Hachimura, who scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting and 2-of-2 three-pointers. Led by these two men, the Lakers temporarily led by 8 points at 69-61 at halftime.

In the second half, the Lakers' state became even hotter, especially the performance outside the three-point line, which was like a miracle, and he made six three-pointers before the end of the half-quarter, of which Russell alone made three shots, and the Lakers also relied on this wave of three-point rain to stretch the difference to 19 points. And the Lakers not only performed well on the offensive end, but also allowed the Grizzlies to score only 9 points in the first half of the quarter, and the opponent's core was locked by them.

The game was close to 30 points at one point in the midst of multiple hands, but the Grizzlies didn't give up easily, and after James and Reaves were off the court, they went crazy chasing points at the end of the third quarter. Bane recovered during this period, and he made a burst of shots to help the team blast a 15-0 run, and the Lakers only led by 10 points after the final third quarter.

In the last quarter, the Lakers hurriedly replaced James, Reaves, and Hachimura, but at this time, the Grizzlies' three-point shooting had also been thrown, and the two sides launched a three-point matchup. On the Lakers' side, Hachimura's hand is bursting, with nearly nine minutes left in the game, he has already made six three-pointers to cut 32 points and 8 rebounds, and there are 2 blocks on the defensive end, he is indeed the most critical player for the Lakers in this game.

After that, the two sides entered a white-hot matchup, and the point difference has been hovering around 10 points, and the Grizzlies relied on LaRavia's 3 three-pointers in a single quarter to stalemate with the Lakers. However, after being chased to 10 points, the Lakers suddenly played a wave of 7-0, once again stretching the difference to a safer range. The Grizzlies were dumb with three points, and the game lost suspense, and the Lakers replaced James in three minutes, and the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies with a score of 136-124 when the time ran out.

In the end, the Lakers still won this wave of five consecutive wins, they are one step closer to their goal, and they will still have to play on the road in the next four games, but only the next game of these four teams has a Pacers win rate of more than 50%, so the Lakers are not without a chance to win a wave of nine consecutive wins.
