The Los Angeles Lakers got absolutely manhandled in their playoff opener on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves and lost 117-95. All of a sudden, their championship hopes could come down to Game 2.
Luckily, they have had two full days off before Game 2, which will take place on Tuesday evening at Crypto.com Arena. That has given them ample time to not only rest and recuperate but also address what led to Saturday's stunning blowout defeat.
Head coach JJ Redick held a practice on Monday and said it was the best one they had held in quite some time.
