Clock Malfunction Boosts Lakers in Crucial Playoff Push Win Over Grizzlies

The Los Angeles Lakers benefited from an unforeseen advantage during the NBA playoff campaign. A clock malfunction in their game against the Memphis Grizzlies led to controversy surrounding their victory.

During a pivotal road victory for the Los Angeles Lakers, the win was overshadowed by a game clock malfunction that mistakenly extended the third quarter by 66 seconds. The additional time gave the Lakers further opportunities to score in the closely contested match, ultimately contributing to their narrow 123-120 win.

The Lakers-Grizzlies game clock was inaccurately set to 2:20 after shot clock violation when it should have been 1:14 in the 3Q last night

Critics have often said LeBron James needs extra help to win tough games. Yet, this time, the assistance came not from his teammates or coach Darvin Ham but from a technical glitch in Memphis. This incident has fueled ongoing discussions about perceived biases within the NBA, especially given James’ high profile and the Lakers’ significant market appeal.

The quarter was supposed to reset only the shot clock late in the period. Instead, the shot and game clocks were reset by mistake—a critical error unnoticed in real-time at the FedEx Forum.

The Lakers and Grizzlies played 13:06 minutes in the 3rd quarter last night. 😳

When the shot clock was supposed to be reset at 1:14, the game clock was also accidentally reset to 2:20. No one noticed and they played the rest of the way with the new game clock. 😬

Despite being outscored 33-30 in the extended third quarter, the Lakers narrowly outperformed the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter, winning by just two points. This win improved the Lakers’ record to 46-35, solidifying their position as the #8 seed in the Play-In Tournament. They now can play the #7 seed, either the Phoenix Suns or the New Orleans Pelicans. A victory there would help them avoid a matchup against the defending champion Denver Nuggets in the quarterfinals.

This scenario highlights LeBron James’s impact on the Lakers’ playoff aspirations and continues to stir debate about the fairness of the NBA’s competition structure.
