L.A.'s first-year head coach pins the blame for his first regular season defeat on one person.
First-year Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick pins the blame for his first regular season defeat, a 109-105 road loss to the Phoenix Suns, on one person: JJ Redick.
JJ on tonight's loss- "If there's one thing to nitpick, it's probably me. I probably should've gone to the fire a possession or two earlier against KD.""I said we wanted to be a process team, I liked our process tonight," Redick allowed. "I liked our level of competition... on the defensive end. They put you in a lot of tough spots, and they have some elite individual shotmakers.
After getting off to a 34-25 first quarter edge, Los Angeles let Phoenix back into the bout. The Suns outscored L.A. 25-14 in that second frame, and managed to weather the storm of a 35-26 Lakers third quarter with a strong fourth period finish.
