The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a second straight impressive victory on Saturday night, defeating the Golden State Warriors on the road. Anthony Davis, LeBron James and Austin Reaves all were excellent, but head coach JJ Redick also got strong performances from the team’s role players as well.
Dorian Finney-Smith, Dalton Knecht, Max Christie and Jarred Vanderbilt, who made his long-awaited season debut, all played their roles excellently and contributed exactly what the Lakers needed them to. The same was the case in the Lakers’ prior contest against the Boston Celtics and the result in both games were comfortable victories for Redick’s team.
