This is the play where the Lakers truly won this game tonight.Unbelievable save by Hachimura, followed by unselfishness and incredible ball movement with #23 at the center of everything. pic.twitter.com/M9c3b2TYtG— Brett Siegel (@BrettSiegelNBA) April 25, 2026
Lakers playing like a team that’s on the same page, connected to each other mentally and physically. Great plays from everybody. Championship shape, habits, and communication all working. Championship culture paying off regardless of whom are missing. This is JJ Redick at his best. Coach of the Year when we add in the playoffs.
