After a 3-0 start to the season under new head coach JJ Redick, the Los Angeles Lakers have come crashing down to earth on their road trip, losing three of four.
Their last loss was particularly disappointing as they went down by 20 to the Detroit Pistons in the first half and were never able to climb out of that hole, falling 115-103.
When asked about his takeaway from the loss, Redick pointed to the Lakers’ poor defense in the first quarter, via Spectrum SportsNet:
“Probably have a few takeaways but I would say if there was one thing it’s just that you need to start the game with a little more just pride defensively.
