As the NBA regular season continues, the Lakers lost 126-131 on the road to the Nuggets for their fourth straight loss. After the game, Lakers coach Redick was interviewed by the media, in-depth comments on the game.
Redick took the blame, saying Jokic’s crucial 2-and-1 late in the game was his fault. “I’m in charge of that ball,” he said. I went in to check on KNECht’s injury and missed the opportunity to make a proper substitution during the timeout.”
When asked about Milton’s missed interception by Westbrook at the end of the game, Redick chose to be cautious: “The last shot, I don’t want to say anything.”
Redick had a positive reaction to Knecht’s injury: “He’s fine with his back and his head, so we’re all relieved.” With 52.1 seconds left in the final quarter, Kneeckert failed to grab the rim while attempting a two-handed dunk and landed flat.
Despite the team’s problems in the game, Redick spoke highly of the players’ fighting spirit and resilience. He stressed that the team had done their best, competed hard and had a chance to win.
After the game, the Lakers were in fifth place with a 40-25 record, just 2.5 wins ahead of the Warriors for sixth place in the Western Conference,
