After the game, Redick addressed the decision to re-insert Knecht into the starting five, per Daniel Starkand of Lakers Nation.
“I think sometimes you just gotta look at numbers,” Redick said. “We felt like the DK stuff was great and tonight was trying to figure out a way to get a win. Knowing that we were gonna be ‘redding’ 1-5 as the game plan, it just felt like a game that we could get him in there.”
Redick also mentioned that they are constantly reviewing the analytics, but that you need time to see how those numbers play out.
