Grizzlies' Efforts Not Enough

The home team's bench contributed significantly to their victory by adding up to 24 points to The Lakers' total score. Their ability to draw fouls proved advantageous as well; they attempted nine more free throws than The Grizzlies which played into extending their lead.
