In a recent game against the Celtics, the Lakers faced offensive struggles in the second half, despite featuring stars LeBron James and Luka Dončić. However, they showcased resilience defensively, with head coach JJ Redick praising their ability to limit Boston's three-point attempts and force tough midrange shots. Despite missing key players like Jaxson Hayes, the Lakers held their ground against Boston's potent offense, allowing them to regain footing later. Though they faced adversity, the team's defensive execution was noteworthy, particularly in stifling Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown's scoring opportunities.
Arguably the biggest takeaway from Saturday's game against the Celtics was how much the offense disappeared in the second half.
Frankly, I thought we defended well tonight...We wanted to limit their threes. They shot 38 threes. They average 48.
