Lakers Coach JJ Redick’s Immediate Reaction to Anthony Davis’ Insane Stat Line

The Los Angeles Lakers are finding their groove in the 2024-25 NBA season, fueled by Anthony Davis’ monster performances and the steady leadership of first-year head coach JJ Redick.

In their latest victory, a hard-fought 112-107 win over the Charlotte Hornets, Davis showcased his dominance once again, leaving Redick in awe.

With the Lakers improving to 26-18, the team continues to climb the Western Conference standings and make a statement about their playoff aspirations.

Davis, who finished with an astonishing 42 points, 23 rebounds and five blocks, set the tone early by recording 21 points and 11 rebounds in a jaw-dropping first quarter. He followed that with 21 points and 12 rebounds the rest of the way, consistently punishing Charlotte in the paint and anchoring the Lakers’ defense.

Redick didn’t hold back his admiration postgame, calling Davis’ performance a two-night workload condensed into 48 minutes.”He carried us all night,” Redick told Jovan Buha of The Athletic after the win.

The Lakers’ season has been marked by inconsistency, but performances like these from Davis suggest that Los Angeles is beginning to stabilize under Redick’s system. They have now won six of their last seven games.

Their latest victory saw key contributions from role players as well, with LeBron James adding 22 points and Austin Reaves chipping in 17. Yet it was Davis’ relentless effort that ensured the Lakers held off the Hornets’ late rally.

As the Lakers prepare for their next stretch of games, Redick and Davis seem to have found the chemistry necessary to push this team into the top four of the Western Conference. If Davis continues producing stat lines like he did on Monday night, the Lakers might just overtake the Denver Nuggets and threaten the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets.

With Redick at the helm and Davis in fine form, the Lakers are sending a clear message: they’re aiming for the NBA’s best.
