Memphis won a must-win Game 5 at home.

Desmond Bane was phenomenal with 33 points and 10 boards, Ja Morant scored 31 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to secure the Memphis Grizzlies victory against the Los Angeles Lakers 116-99 at FedExForum in Memphis, TN, and the team will try to tie the series back in LA.

Jaren Jackson Jr., winner of the NBA DPOTY, notched 18 points and also had 10 boards like Bane and Morant and Grizzlies are 5-0 in Game fives at home, and the LA Lakers lead is cut to 3-2.

The next game from the series – 6 will be on Friday at Staples Center in California.

LeBron James scored only 15 points as the best player for the Lakers tonight was Anthony Davis with 31 points and 19 boards, but it wasn’t enough, and now the franchise from Los Angeles will try to end the series with a victory at home.
