The Los Angeles Lakers had plenty of reasons to celebrate on Friday night.
They ended up with not only the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, but a team that was constantly trying to get under their skin.
No one on the Lakers forgot what the Grizzlies said, and after winning Game 6, Bench sang a curious song to say goodbye to their rivals.

It was a good way to end this series.
The Grizzlies tried hard to play mind games with the Lakers, but nothing worked for them.
LeBron James decided to ignore his rivals after the series ended, walking off the court before the game ended.
Dillon Brooks tried again to play the villain and it didn’t work.
Jae Morant tried to behave, and he did, but he admitted that his off-court controversies hurt his team.
