With the Los Angeles Lakers lacking in overall fight and energy against the Detroit Pistons, head coach JJ Redick turned to someone who has been out of the rotation for a boost. After another disappointing shift from Max Christie, Redick went with Cam Reddish in the second half and the veteran did provide a spark.
Reddish didn’t take a single shot in his 14 minutes on the court, but was a team-high plus-10 in those minutes while contributing five rebounds and a steal. Overall, his energy and fight brought a spark to the Lakers that was sorely needed on a night when the team was, self-admittedly, lacking in that department.
