The Los Angeles Lakers got back on track on Friday night, returning home and easily beating the Philadelphia 76ers to improve to 5-4 on the season.
Even though it came against an undermanned opponent, the win was important for the Lakers coming off a disappointing 1-4 road trip. After the team’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies to end the trip, head coach JJ Redick called out his players for their lack of effort.
That loss appeared to lead to some tough conversations during their film session. Austin Reaves revealed that Redick called him out for his effort level, which he appreciated as he wants to be coached hard.
