JJ Redick is beyond frustrated and disappointed with the Los Angeles Lakers' preseason blowout loss against the Golden State Warriors. JJ Redick isn't happy with what he saw from the Los Angeles Lakers' effort, which caused them to endure a lopsided 124- 98 loss against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. Position PG, SG Age 27 Height 203 cm Weight 104 kg Birth place Ljubljana, Slovenia Although it was just a preseason game, the Lakers' head coach candidly expressed his displeasure with his team's performance, particularly at the start of the game. "We've had a handful of these games where you're missing star players and a lot of your depth. I still expect to win and I still expect us to play to our standards," Redick told reporters. " "That first half did not meet my expectations and I let them know that — You can still hold them accountable. And I do think they respond." Lakers took awful loss in 2nd NBA preseason game vs. Warriors Coming off a 127-103 win against the Sacramento Kings on Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers have rested Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Walker Kessler, Ziaire Williams, and several other key players for the second night of their back-to-back action as they face the Golden State Warriors. In the end, the Lakers endured a rough beating against the Warriors in San Francisco, going down by as many as 38 points. The Lakers struggled to shoot the ball from the field with 39.8% collectively as a group, with Sandro Mamukelashvili emerging as the lone bright spot with 15 points in 18 minutes. Amid their poor shooting night, the Lakers also lacked defensive coverage, allowing the Warriors to heat up offensively behind rookie Yaxel Lendeborg’s 17 points. The Dubs led 81-53 by the end of the first half, easily securing the victory against the shorthanded Lakers. The Lakers still have plenty of chances to respond with three more games remaining on their preseason schedule. They will face the Kings again for a rematch at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday.
