Frustrated Lakers coach JJ Redick keeps postgame comments brief after loss to Hawks
The Los Angeles Lakers have started their five-game road trip with a disappointing 122-102 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers never led by more than one point, and coach JJ Redick was visibly frustrated. He kept his postgame comments brief, answering six questions in under two minutes. The Hawks, missing several key players, led 68-54 at halftime and extended their lead in the third quarter. Atlanta’s bench stepped up, with Mouhamed Gueye scoring a career-high 21 points. Redick acknowledged the Hawks’ effort and suggested his team lacked urgency. The Lakers now head to Charlotte for a Monday night game.
