J Redick admitted the Lakers looked "tired" tonight.

"We weren't able to sustain the level intensity we started the game with."

Team dont even look tired other teams are just looking at em like food on defense

And they aren’t responding

Dorian Finney-Smith:

"We gotta put a 48-minute game together. That third quarter was tough. We let our offense mess with our defensive energy and it was just tough to fight back."

Dorian Finney-Smith on if the Lakers can get back to the level they were previously at defensively:

"For sure. We told on ourselves, we showed we can do it. So it's up to us. We gotta hold each other accountable and do it."

Luka Doncic feels the Lakers got "satisfied" and they can't afford that right now. He wants them to get back to playing the physical defense they were playing during their eight-game winning streak.

nah i think theyre actually tired, both mentally and physically. the schedule we've had recently has been absolutely insane, havent seen no s*** like it with all the back to backs especially at this point in the season, on top of fighting for seeding and dealing with injuries. not to mention, the scheme of defense we play is tiring and that's been the main issue during this stretch.

idk how they gonna do it, but jj gotta manage fighting for seeding and not burning out the team as the playoffs come around

Denver lost tonight

Really needed this win

JJ Redick said Rui Hachimura will be back in the starting lineup tonight.

He will still be on a minute restriction though.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle on DFS:

“Dorian Finney-Smith is one of my favorite players (I’ve coached). He’s a quintessential three and D guy, but he’s more than that, because he’s a better playmaker and passer than you think, and does a lot of nuanced things.

As a teammate, he was one of the guys Luka really trusted in Dallas.”

This is Jordan Goodwin's last game on a two-way contract
