JJ Redick called LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves for a mini-meeting ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers' 134-127 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
"We challenged all three of them when we get to their three-man actions to play with a little more force and a little more thrust and a little more creativity," Redick said of his message.
The trio responded by combining for 85 points and 25 assists. Reaves led all scorers with 31 points, while Doncic had 29 points and nine assists, and James had 25 points and eight assists.
"I think the meeting was just still trying to build that chemistry amongst the three of us to help the team be successful," Reaves said. "Tonight, it just showed that when we play the right way and trust one another, especially offensively, we can have open looks on almost every possession. ... It was really just a conversation about how bad all of us want to win and win at a high level."
