The Los Angeles Lakers put up a stunning display in a 126-99 win against the league-leading Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

After the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick highlighted what stood out the most for him in the win, saying he was impressed by the team’s execution and commitment on both ends of the court.

"I thought we were very connected in both intent and spirit on both ends of the floor," Redick said postgame. "Our commitment to what we were trying to do defensively and offensively stood out."

Redick praised his team's reaction to OKC's various defensive coverages and was pleased with how they were able to get open looks.

"They played a bunch of different coverages—drop, reds, blitzes," Redick explained. "Our ability to recognize those coverages was really good."

The coach also mentioned a few more keys to the win against the Thunder.

"We did a really good job on the glass,” Redick added. "Several of our turnovers were dead-ball turnovers, which allowed us to set our defense. Timely fouls were also key to stopping their momentum."

"Luka relishes the challenge," Redick said. "You’re going to get the best defender every night, all the different coverages every night when you’re him."

"Similar to LeBron, similar to Jokic, similar to Shai—these guys have seen every test and figured out how to pass each one. A lot of times, they don’t just pass the test, they ace it. Luka did some special things tonight," the coach praised Luka.

With this win and the results of other teams, the Lakers gained some separation as the third seed in the Western Conference. With a 48-30 record, they now have a one-game advantage over the Denver Nuggets, who have played one more game than the Lakers.
