JJ Redick doesn't think the second half struggles were because the Lakers were "haunted by ghosts of the past" when it comes to playing the Nuggets.

Austin Reaves: “Tonight they beat the s*** out of us.”

Rui Hachimura says the Lakers "just kind of relaxed for some reason" in the third quarter.

"They knew and they just played harder. We didn't fight back and yeah, that was the game."

Austin Reaves on the third quarter:

"I think we just played one of the worst quarters we can possibly play."

JJ Redick on the Lakers' defensive issues

LeBron James declined to speak to the media tonight.

JJ Redick said that after watching the film, the conclusion was the Lakers just “stopped playing” in the third quarter against Denver. He said they talked about it this morning and believes it will be an “aberration” and not something that will happen again.

JJ Redick says Jaxson Hayes is probable for tomorrow at Phoenix.

JJ Redick on how he thinks the Lakers will respond to their blowout loss to the Nuggets: “I’m confident that we’re gonna have a great response.”

JJ Redick said in the prior matchups vs. PHX, there has been a “very stark difference” between the Suns scoring efficiency in transition vs. in the half court. Super important the Lakers get back and set up tonight.

We will be ready for the second half meltdown

JJ Redick said he’s tentatively considering a 10-man rotation — which he used against Denver with Rui Hachimura back — but he hasn’t made a definitive decision. He acknowledged the No. 9 spot is between Max Christie and Gabe Vincent. He said it could change game to game.
