The Lakers stars played well, LeBron James and Anthony Davis both.But in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 128-112 win over the Grizzlies in Memphis, giving the Lakers a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven first round series, it was the supporting cast that brought them home. Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and D'Angelo Russell all were big, earning critical buckets from inside and out as the Lakers pulled away late. An injury to Ja Morant's hand left the door open for the purple and gold, and they didn't just walk through, they blew the entire wall out. Had to happen, too, because if the Lakers don't they blow a huge opportunity.(Morant, by the way, seemed to make himself questionable for Game 2.)It was a resounding win for a team that five days ago looked really tired. The rest, clearly, helped a lot. And it was a validation of the depth added by the front office at the deadline.Huge game, huge win. Lakers are in the driver's seat early.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HelloFreshSkip trips to the grocery store and count on HelloFresh to make home cooking easy, fun, AND affordable – that’s why it’s America’s #1 meal kit! Go to HelloFresh.com/nba60 and use code nba60 for 60% off plus free shipping! eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
