JJ Redick Says Luka Doncic Was 'Orchestrating' Following Win Over Hawks
JJ Redick Says Luka Doncic Was 'Orchestrating' Following Win Over Hawks

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 124-114 on Monday night, extending their winning streak to six games.

Luka Doncic, who returned to the lineup after missing Sunday's game with lower back tightness, finished with 32 points and 10 assists in the win.

"Luka again, you know, [was] just orchestrating," said coach JJ Redick. "I thought he was really just a willing passer. He ended up with 10 assists ... but could have had 15, 16 assists."

Doncic was named the Western Conference player of the week earlier in the day after averaging 45 points. The Lakers also went 4-0 during that span.

Sandro Mamukelashvili finished with 23 points and eight rebounds off the bench, with Walker Kessler adding 21 points and 10 rebounds for his third consecutive double-double.

Redick then complimented Doncic's ability to figure out a game.

"He does a great job of figuring out on a night-to-night basis what levers to pull. ... It's not just hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt [to score]. He reads the game," added Redick.

The Lakers are now 10-2 on the year.
