LOS ANGELES — A raucous, chanting sellout crowd welcomed the Lakers back to the postseason on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. The fans turned the arena electric at times, no doubt imagining their voices igniting another of those extended playoff runs that once were spring rites of passage.
The Lakers were 2-1 against the Grizzlies during the regular season, winning both games at Crypto.com Arena. James’ 3-pointer with 2:02 left in regulation pulled the Lakers even at 95-all, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Neither team could break the tie in the closing seconds, turning over the ball repeatedly, until James passed to an open Schroder for a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 1.4 seconds left.
