LOS ANGELES — Dillon Brooks isn't wrong, but being right barely matters in a court of law, let alone a basketball court.
Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James reacts after making a basket against the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime in Game 4 of a first-round NBA basketball playoff series Monday, April 24, 2023, in Los Angeles. The Lakers won 117-111. , but being right barely matters in a court of law, let alone a basketball court.
“You know how momentum plays are made,” James said. “And I’ve been a part of moments where you know you can kinda get a dagger play or a kill shot. And I felt like that play right there, after I was able to make that and-1, I wouldn’t say closed the door, but it sealed it. There wasn’t much light at the end for the rest of the game. I was just letting the emotion come out.”
There were long stretches where he relied too much on deep shots, going 1 for 7 from 3. And luckily for him, he didn’t force the action too much — just happened to be in the right place at the right time, timing those bursts of energy at critical junctures. Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins believed his team had the right character and confidence coming into Game 4, knowing full well a win would tilt home-court advantage back in their direction with two games back in their building.
Usually, this is where James will take over, bending the game to his will. But the Grizzlies opened the door to D'Angelo Russell, who found Jackson Jr. switched on him. Thecheated a little too hard on Austin Reaves, then Russell caught daylight for his first of three straight triples.
