Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers break fires in game 1 of the first round of the playoffs of the Western Conference of the NBA 2023, a game that will take place this Sunday, April 16 at the FedExForum stadium in Tennessee, home of those led by Taylor Jenkins who hope to finish the team of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
After months of suffering and injuries out of the calculation, the Lakers got the coveted key to the playoffs as seventh place after beating the Minnesota Timberwolves in the play-in by a result of 108-102. However, things will not be easy against the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies sealed a good campaign as second in the Western Conference where the performance of Ja Morant stands out, today facing a complaint of aggression, and Jaren Jackson Jr. For this reason, it is expected that they can give a great battle to the experienced Lakers, who are in the process of recovering in the NBA.
