JJ Redick Says Luka Doncic Was ‘Orchestrating’ Following Win Over Hawks

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick praised Luka Doncic for orchestrating the offense following a 124-114 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. Doncic, who returned from a one-game absence caused by lower back tightness, recorded 32 points and 10 assists. Redick commended Doncic as a willing passer who effectively reads defenses and pulls the right levers instead of strictly hunting for his own scoring opportunities.

The victory extended the Lakers' winning streak to six games and improved their regular-season record to 10-2. Earlier in the day, Doncic was named Western Conference Player of the Week after averaging 45 points during a 4-0 stretch. Sandro Mamukelashvili contributed 23 points and eight rebounds off the bench, while Walker Kessler added 21 points and 10 rebounds.
