Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick admitted to pulling an all-nighter before their decisive 123-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets, which snapped the Nuggets’ nine-game winning streak. The grueling 48-hour stretch paid off as the Lakers looked excellent on Saturday, fueled by dominant performances from point guard Luka Doncic and forward LeBron James.
Doncic, who said he was “finally feeling like myself,” posted his best game yet with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists. James added 25 points, nine rebounds, and five assists to the Lakers’ success. The team’s victory will be crucial in playoff positioning, and Redick hopes it allows him to get more rest before their next meeting with Denver on March 14.
