The Los Angeles Lakers bounced back in Game 2 of their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning 94-85 after a disheartening Game 1 loss. The team's performance was marked by a newfound physicality, as they embraced the intensity required in playoffs. Coach JJ Redick emphasized the importance of this aggressive approach, praising Rui Hachimura's efforts despite facing injury. Hachimura's tenacity set the tone for the game, demonstrating the Lakers' commitment to survival in the series, where historically few teams recover from a 0-2 deficit.
We were physical,â said Lakers coach JJ Redick, who pleaded for this type of play after the Game 1 beatdown. âThe playoffs require a different level.
Hachimura played like a warrior tonight, I'm sure that he is probably in the X-ray room right now. But he did a lot of really good things.
