"I think a group functions best when you draw strength from each other. And the way my players, my staff, the organization has supported, rallied around me - rallied around the city, clearly - loved on my family, there's real strength in that. And that's the sort of receiving of strength. Then it's our job to go give strength, and give hope and give joy..." Redick remarked, emphasizing the power of unity and support within the team and community during challenging times.
The distraction from the outside world, the actual game, though, again exposed some of the Lakers' issues inside the basketball one. The Lakers' supporting cast struggled, leading to a deflating loss, as the Spurs surged to a 126-102 victory despite James and Davis combining for 48 points. Their lack of fight was evident, particularly in the fourth quarter where the Lakers managed only 13 points.
