Redick, who helped the Lakers secure the victory, praised Walker Kessler's outstanding performance.

With scores from Luka Doncic, Walker Kessler, and Austin Reeves, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 127-105 in their first game of the new NBA regular season. In an interview, JJ Redick specifically praised Walker Kessler's outstanding performance, saying it was a great start to the season.

Luka Doncic scored 28 points and had 7 assists in this key game, Walker Kessler added 26 points and one assist, while Austin Reeves contributed 23 points and 6 assists for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick said, "The players did a great job. Whenever Walker Kesler sprinted down the middle of the court, everyone was able to find him in time."

"With this kind of spacing, he can make full use of the opportunities we create when we drive to the basket. And when the team executes this play, he also scores many times under the basket. I think he has made a great start with this performance."

When discussing how to defend Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, Redick said, "He can break down the opponent's defensive formation, even disrupt the defensive principles, and he will constantly test the opponent's execution in off-ball defense."

"However, I think the team did what it has always emphasized on the defensive end. When the players communicate with each other on the court and work together to find solutions, that's what team cohesion looks like."

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic said, "Walker Kessler played a very good game. I remember he went 12-for-12, which was really impressive. When I drove to the basket, he would come up and help me, and when I was double-teamed, he would be open near the free-throw line. He was really good."

“Even though our teamwork looks easy, it’s definitely not that easy in reality. This is only the first game, after all, and I think we can push our limits even further.”
