After the 132-108 loss to the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick delivered a blunt assessment. Asked if the team has enough players wired for physical, consistent effort, his answer was clear: “No”.
Los Angeles collapsed defensively in the third quarter and now ranks 24th in NBA defensive rating. Redick stressed accountability, saying defense ultimately comes down to “making the choice”.
LeBron James echoed the need for unity, while Marcus Smart admitted the responsibility lies with the players. With the trade deadline approaching, defensive improvement has become a pressing issue.
