Lakers vs. Grizzlies Game 5: Stream, lineups, injury reports and broadcast info
The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Memphis Grizzlies for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
After snatching Game 4 in overtime, 117-111, and taking a 3-1 series lead, the Lakers can conclude matters right here and now. They will have to do so in front of the Grizzlies’ home fans and against a team that is feisty and chippy, not to mention dirty according to some.
Ja Morant was held in check for the second time in the three games he has played in this series (he missed Game 2 due to a hand injury), as he shot just 8-of-24 on Monday. However, fellow backcourt starter Desmond Bane kept Memphis in the contest with 36 points.
