Lakers vs. Grizzlies score: Live NBA playoffs updates as LeBron ...

The Los Angeles Lakers ran away for a 16-point win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1, not because LeBron James or Anthony Davis went off, but because their role players stepped up. Rui Hachimura led all scorers with 29 points off the bench, while Austin Reaves added on 23 points. It was a case of everything going right for the Lakers on offense. We'll see if that success can be bottled throughout the rest of this series, which continues Wednesday night with Game 2. With one half of play in the books, the Grizzlies have come out firing and own a double-digit lead at the break as a result. 

Given the injury to Ja Morant, the Grizzlies are seemingly fighting an uphill battle at this point but they still have the comfort of playing on their home floor in this game. As we've seen throughout the season, Memphis has proven they are capable of winning without Morant in the lineup. Even without Morant this evening, the Grizzlies should put up a fight. The question is, will their defense stand up to the task of shutting down a Lakers squad that saw their role players go wild in Game 1?
