JJ Redick was asked if Luka Doncic did any mechanical to change his shot, as his attempts are up from 22.8 to 24.6 per game, but his efficiency is also up from 47.6% to 49.8%: “He's just very clearheaded right now. I think it's as much mental and spiritual as (anything)”

JJ Redick on how much scoring a lot of points is a motivation for Luka Doncic in the context of winning: “To me, he is first a competitor … The first priority is to try to win … It’s not just hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt [to score]. He reads the game”

Hawks coach Quin Snyder on being on the other end of Luka Doncic’s career-best 73 points a few years back: “I don't personalize that ... If I did, I guess it would be an honor ... He's playing at a level that no one has seen in this league in a long, long time”

With Reaves and Quentin Grimes (sprained finger) out, and the Lakers playing on the second night of a back-to-back, JJ Redick said he plans to give rotation minutes to LAL rookie Cameron Carr tonight

Austin Reaves has been downgraded to out tonight in Atlanta with an illness, the Lakers say
