The NBA regular season continued with the Lakers’ 107-96 home win over the SUNS. After the game, Lakers coach Redick was interviewed by the media to comment on the game and the team’s performance.
Redick first on Jordan – Goodwin’s performance gave a high evaluation. “Never judge a player based on numbers alone,” he said. In this game, although Goodwin only had two points, three rebounds, one assist and two blocks, Redick believes his role on the court is far more than those statistics can show.
Redick was satisfied with the Lakers’ comeback from a four-game losing streak. “To come out of the depths of a four-game losing streak and turn things around quickly, I thought the performance of our team was amazing,” he said. Redick praised the team’s ability to adjust quickly and win.
On Hayes’s progress, Redick also gave full affirmation. “I think his biggest growth this year has been his cognitive abilities,” he said. “Those nuances are why his numbers have improved.” Redick also singled out Doncic’s contribution to Hayes’ development, saying, “It was great for him to play with Doncic.” Hayes played 29 minutes and had 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. His improvement and growth are inseparable from the guidance and help of Doncic.
Overall, Redick was pleased with the Lakers’ performance, particularly Goodwin’s performance, the team’s quick rebound from a four-game losing streak and Hayes’ improvement. He believes that as long as the team continues to maintain this form and momentum, it will achieve better results in the future.
