NBA Twitter reacts to Grizzlies tying up series 1-1 against Lakers: ‘AD and D’Angelo were Kwame and Smush today’
The Memphis Grizzlies didn’t need Ja Morant to tie their first-round Western Conference series 1-1 by beating the Los Angeles Lakers 103-93.
With the young star sidelined by a sore right hand, Xavier Tillman outscored Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell combined after dropping a career-high 22 points. Meanwhile, LeBron James recorded his 103rd career playoff game with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, tying Spurs legend Tim Duncan for fourth-most all-time.
NBA Twitter, of course, had something to say about the terrible night of AD and Russell.

I guess LeBron has his own brand of "Air." Air ball.
