Tournament Progression:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Aldama hit a hook shot to open the scoring account, but Hachimura and Reddish hit back-to-back three-pointers to overtake the score, and Pippen Jr. responded with a three-point shot. After that, the Lakers exploded with a 10-2 attack wave to widen the difference to 9 points, and LaRavia made a shot to stop the bleeding. The Lakers' offense continued unabated, and another wave of 7-2 spurts extended the margin to double digits, and Smart hit a three-point shot to stop the bleeding again. After that, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, and the score alternated upwards, but the Lakers maintained a double-digit lead. At the end of the quarter, the Grizzlies scored four points in a row to start chasing points, but they were doused by a three-pointer from James. Jackson hit a two-pointer and James hit a three-pointer from beyond the buzzer, giving the Lakers a 12-point lead over the Grizzlies at 38-26 in the first quarter.

Back in the second quarter, Jaren Jackson Jr. hit a three-pointer, and James made two fouls to keep the margin above 10 points. Pippen scored a strong hand to continue to chase the score, and Hachimura made another foul and scored both free throws. After that, the two sides fell into a stalemate again, and the score also rose alternately. In the second half of the quarter, the Grizzlies finally found their groove, and they went on an 8-2 run to push the margin to within 10 points. James hit a long two-pointer to try to stabilize the situation, but the Grizzlies went on a 10-3 run to instantly close the deficit to one point in the remaining time. Reaves missed the buzzer, and at halftime, the Lakers led the Grizzlies by just one point at 65-64.

At the beginning of the second half, the Grizzlies opened with an 8-0 attack wave to overtake the score, and it was not until the remaining 9 minutes of the third quarter that the Lakers finally stopped the bleeding by James to make it 2+1. The Grizzlies were still sharp, and they sent another 7-3 run to take an eight-point lead. At the critical moment, James made a layup again and barely chased the score. For a period of time, both teams shot high percentages, and the score never narrowed or pulled away, until the Grizzlies still maintained a lead of about 8 points with 2 minutes left in the quarter. After that, the Lakers set off a frenzy of chasing points, Knecht hit consecutive three-pointers, Hachimura hit both free throws, and the Lakers hit 8-0 to narrow the gap by one point. But in the last minute, the Lakers were inattentive defensively, and the Grizzlies scored four points in a row. At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies led the Lakers by five points at 96-91.

In the final quarter, Knecht came up and hit another three-pointer, leading the Lakers to a 10-2 start, and the Lakers also overtook 3 points in one fell swoop. The Grizzlies scored 4 points in a row to stop the bleeding, but James played a difficult 2+1 to continue to help the Lakers lead. The scores of the two sides alternated up, and James also got the rebound to complete a triple-double. In the middle of this section, the two sides fought to a 108 draw. At the critical moment, thick eyebrows hit three points in a row to help the Lakers play an 8-2 attack wave to gain a six-point advantage into the final three minutes. At the critical moment, Hachimura hit another three-pointer to continue to extend the lead, and Jaren Jackson Jr. scored three consecutive points at the critical moment to pull the suspense back, but Reaves' three-pointer almost killed the game. Kennard's three-pointer gave the Grizzlies hope, but a nonsensical challenge from Pippen completely ruined the game. In the end, the game ended with the Lakers beating the Grizzlies 128-123.
