Today's Lakers away from the Knicks was undoubtedly a tough game, but today the Lakers still got a big win without Davis, beating the Knicks 128-112 on the road. Due to the absence of Davis, Hayes started today, but strictly speaking, the Lakers used a small lineup most of the time today, that is, a combination of five small lineups. This lineup is very flexible on the court, they can get open shots from outside the three-point line through fast movement, and the Lakers made a total of 19 three-pointers today, and it was these 19 three-pointers that broke the Knicks' confidence again and again.

After the absence of Davis, James showed his determination to win. Today, James hit another triple-double, with 33 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in the game, and four players in the Lakers' starting lineup scored in double figures. In the bench lineup, Finney Smith scored 15 points on five three-pointers, and today's game was a full bloom for the Lakers.

The most significant significance of this game for the Lakers is Redick's change of lineup and adjustment, which is something that many Lakers fans are happy about, because they can defeat the powerful Knicks in the absence of the main core Davis. This is enough to see that Redick's on-the-spot adjustment ability is very strong. It's not because the opponent has a tall Towns, Redick is afraid of the opponent's height and doesn't dare to use a small lineup, and when it comes to the critical moment today, the Lakers are on the court with a combination of Christie, Reaves, Hachimura, James and Finneysmith, and the effect is very good.

Many people think of the Warriors at their peak when they see this combination, why were the Warriors so strong back then? It all came down to the fact that they had a Death Five lineup back then. They owned Curry, Thompson, Green, Durant and Iguodala. The tempo is very fast on both ends of the pitch and on the floor, which makes it difficult for the big man on the opposite side to adapt, which is why they were able to win a lot of games in their prime.

At present, Redick has copied the style of play of the Warriors at their peak, why is Redick able to replicate this style of play? In the final analysis, it is also because there are many players on the current Lakers roster who can defend, and Redick is confident that he has a lot of defensive giants. Since the Lakers put Christie in the starting lineup, their defensive efficiency is now among the best in the league, which is a far cry from their previous defensive bottom, which is enough to show that Redick's adjustment in the offseason is very timely, and he is indeed a very smart head coach.
