What happened: JJ Redick said he recalls four second-half possessions in which the Lakers turned down wide-open threes. He made the comment while discussing the rhythm Luka Doncic is in, saying Doncic is "doing a really good job of making plays when there's two on the ball.

Why it matters: Doncic is averaging 36.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists in 2026-27 through five games, and his playmaking against double-teams is generating the open looks Redick says were not taken. The Lakers are 5-2.

By the numbers: Doncic: 36.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 7.6 assists per game in 2026-27 through 5 games.

What to watch: Watch whether Redick follows through on shortening the leash for players who pass up open threes.
