- Boston was able to level their series with the Bucks at two apiece while some late magic from the Warriors prevented Memphis from doing the same.
- 4 of the 5 picks on the night (Colin failed LMI eligibility) came from Memphis. Our lone trekker into the other contest was Trevor with Boston's Jaylen Brown. It was a struggle for the talented wing as he was significantly hampered by foul trouble but still managed to squeak out 22 PRA in victory.
- Matt's pick Desmond Bane was expected to pick up some of the scoring load with Ja Morant out but that didn't end up being the case. He only made three shots in the loss, one being an awkward heave to beat the third quarter horn, finishing with 15 PRA for his final selection in the Challenge.
- While the Last Man In didn't come into play for Colin, it did for Lou and Ryan. Steven Adams double-doubled in his return to the Memphis starting five and earned the duo 28 PRA. It was Lou's fourth consecutive successful Last Man In, his longest stretch with picks since the end of March.
- But getting that top score was Ja Morant's replacement in that starting five and Al's pick for the night, Tyus Jones. The point guard didn't lead his team in any of the PRA stats in Game 4, but he led the way in the Pick One with 30 PRA in the end.
- Optimally, it was another Giannis-driven evening as Mr. Antetokounmpo had 57 PRA in defeat to the Celtics. Kyle Anderson was your veteran bench bargain for the Grizz with 17 of his 27 PRA coming from points, his highest scoring output of the entire season.
