It’s the fourth quarter and the Lakers are in a tight game vs. the Grizzlies. Winless on the season and staring at a potentially disastrous 0-3 start, the team is having trouble containing the Grizz’s dynamic young point guard, Ja Morant, who is absolutely dazzling with his forays to the paint and improved shotmaking from beyond the arc.
The Lakers, though, have their own matchup problem in 19-year veteran Carmelo Anthony. On this night, Melo is cooking, and there’s little the Grizz can do to slow him down.
With 10:51 left in that final period, Melo gets a pass at the top of the key, pump fakes, then drains a one-dribble, pull-up 20-footer to tie the game at 92.
