After the game, head coach JJ Redick revealed that he put a lot of preparation into this contest, per Jovan Buha of The Athletic on X, formerly Twitter. “Redick notes he hasn’t slept since the Portland game on Thursday in preparation for this game.

A viral clip captured JJ Redick's overwhelmed reaction as he watched LeBron James and Luka Doncic command the game.

Los Angeles Lakers fans saw something they didn’t expect from JJ Redick on Saturday night: a smile. As his team wrapped up their 123-100 win over the Denver Nuggets, Redick looked happy and very proud of his team.

It would be an understatement to say reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets have had the Los Angeles Lakers’ number in recent years. Entering a primetime matchup in Denver on Saturday night, the Nuggets had run off a 14-1 stretch against the Lakers (including two straight decisive playoff series wins).

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick spoke to Rui Hachimura's 'outstanding' defense against Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.

I don't think the Denver Nuggets are legit contenders. I don't think teams are afraid of them." As "Big Perk" rightfully pointed out, Denver has performed at its worst against teams at or above .500.

Nikola Jokic is determined to return to the NBA’s mountaintop, which the Denver Nuggets scaled just two seasons ago.

The LA Lakers needed a win over the LA Clippers to secure the second spot in the Western Conference standings.

Following the win over the Clippers, Lakers head coach JJ Redick announced an official injury designation for Hachimura. "JJ Redick says Rui Hachimura’s injury has been diagnosed as left patellar tendinopathy," ESPN's Dave McMenamin wrote on X.
