MEMPHIS, Tenn. — When the Lakers arrived in Memphis ahead of Wednesday night’s 136-124 victory over the Grizzlies, Rui Hachimura said he started having flashbacks to last spring.

The Lakers spent about a week in Memphis during the two-week long series, a period of time Hachimura said felt like longer. “Felt like we spent here for two months,” Hachimura said. “That’s what I was thinking.
