JJ Redick picked up arguably his biggest win in his early coaching career as the Los Angeles Laker blew out the Boston Celtics on Friday night.
Redick praised the Lakers for their execution of the defensive gameplan and for good reason as they managed to hold the Celtics to only 96 points.
Holding a team like Boston to under 100 points is a massive accomplishment and one that L.A. should be able to build on. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is widely regarded as a strong offensive mind, so slowing down his team is no easy task.
