December 29, 2021
In a thrilling Game 4 matchup, the Los Angeles Lakers emerged victorious against the Memphis Grizzlies, taking control of their first-round series with a 111-101 victory. A clutch performance by LeBron James proved pivotal, as the veteran superstar led his team to a crucial win.
James finished the game with an impressive triple-double, recording 23 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists. His all-around brilliance was evident throughout the contest, as he orchestrated the Lakers' offense and provided a defensive presence.
The game saw a turning point late in the fourth quarter when Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks was ejected after striking James in the groin. With Brooks off the court, the Lakers seized the opportunity to pull away and close out the game in their favor.
Another key contributor for the Lakers was Rui Hachimura, who scored 32 points and provided valuable support to James. Hachimura's efficient shooting and aggressive play kept the Grizzlies' defense honest and gave the Lakers a much-needed boost.
With this win, the Lakers now hold a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. They will look to close out the series in Game 5, which will take place on December 31. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, will need to regroup and find a way to overcome the deficit.
