The Los Angeles Lakers were searching for answers as they struggled on both ends of the court in their disappointing loss to the Detroit Pistons. As such, head coach JJ Redick turned to a players who hadn’t seen any real minutes so far this season, but someone who played a big role for the Lakers much of last year in Cam Reddish.
With Max Christie continuing to struggle, Reddish got the call in the second half and provided a boost for the Lakers despite not taking a shot. He was a team-high plus-10 in his 14 minutes and totaled five rebounds and one steal while playing with an energy and edge the team sorely needed.
