LeBron James shrugged off Redick's tone, noting with a chuckle that the Lakers have grown accustomed to the fact that he will "spazz out" at times. He says the players have to focus on the message and not how Redick's saying it, and in this case that was to lock back in and keep running good offense.

When the Timberwolves started to make a run on the Lakers in the third quarter of Game 2, Lakers coach JJ Redick called a timeout and was animated.

Spurred by their tone-setting 40-year-old superstar, the Lakers defend their rears off to square their best-of-seven first-round series against the Timberwolves with a bruise-filled 94-85 win.
