Lakers’ JJ Redick Praises Team’s Defensive Effort in Recent Game
Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick had high praise for his team’s defensive effort in their recent game against the Houston Rockets. The Lakers held the Rockets to just 98 points on 41.6% shooting from the field, showcasing their improved defensive skills.¹
Redick credited his team’s ability to pack the paint defensively and gang rebound against a Houston team that dominates the glass. This win marked the Lakers’ second consecutive victory over teams they could potentially face in the postseason.
Redick’s praise for his team’s defense is a significant turnaround from earlier criticisms. Previously, he acknowledged the team’s defensive struggles, stating that they needed to figure out their defensive issues together.² However, with this recent win, it’s clear that the Lakers are making progress on the defensive end.
