While the first-year coach liked his team’s defense in downing the Timberwolves in Game 2, he believes it can control how it fares on offense in Friday’s Game 3.

The Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from a stunning 117-95 Game 1 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 94-85 win in Game 2. A big difference between the two games was the effort that JJ Redick's men put in on the defensive end.

LeBron James believes the Lakers responded well to JJ Redick's Game 2 tirade and are more focused on the message than the delivery.
