After being badly outscored in the paint by the Wolves in Game 3, Lakers head coach JJ Redick had plenty of critiques of his team’s defense.

When the Lakers traded Anthony Davis for Luka Dončić, it gave them a young superstar to build with for years, but it hurt them defensively in the present.

Los Angeles’ frontcourt already had a depth issue with AD, but without him, all they had during the regular season was Jaxson Hayes and some centers on two-way deals.
