Behind their offensive trio of LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves — who combined for 85 points and 25 assists — the Lakers dominated the final six minutes of Saturday's game and with that took control of the No. 4 seed in the West with a 134-127 win.

During a recent interview on "The Pat McAfee Show", James addressed the importance of chemistry and execution in the playoffs, especially when scoring becomes inconsistent. He singled out both Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic, stressing that the team must stay locked in regardless of who’s making shots.

After a heartbreaking defeat to the Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers needed to quickly get back on track as Saturday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies was arguably their most important game of the season.
