JJ Redick on the Thunder: "We saw a stat in our morning meeting, teams that have had back-to-back, 10 or more better net ratings in consecutive seasons, you're talking about the '95-'96 Bulls and '96-'97 Bulls and the '15-'17 Warrriors. You're literally talking about two of the greatest teams of all time. I said to a bunch of people yesterday off site talking about this series, to me, the Thunder is one of the greatest teams ever in NBA history. It's just the reality. They're that good. I think our guys recognize that and respect that, and we know what kind of task we have in front of us."

Luka Doncic: "I went to Spain to do PRP. Everybody knows that Spain, they're just one of the best countries to do that...I know and trust lots of people from Spain. Why I was in Spain so long is because I needed four days in between every shot. So I did it four times. So that's why I stayed longer." (What did they say as far as being able to hopefully expedite your recovery after getting the PRP?) Luka: "I'm just in the process, i'm working every day. I feel better every day. Like I said, in the beginning they say eight weeks. So we just go from there."

Sandro Mamukelashvili on becoming teammates with Luka Doncic: "Luka and me, born the same year, so like being in Europe, I used to see a lot about Luka and grew up kind of like seeing how good he was and how big he was at that early age. So, it’s cool to just be his teammate now, cause I remember there was rankings in Europe and like I would always see he was always No. 1. So, I was like just trying to get there, get there. Now just being his teammate, it’s amazing and I really do think like he’s going make my life a lot easier.”

Walker Kessler on the Lakers making a significant investment (contract plus draft picks) to acquire him from the Jazz: "It definitely makes you feel a certain way when you know an organization believes in you. And I think what they've invested, they're showing that belief in a monetary value, not just with money, but like you said, assets. And for me, I'm somebody that if I know that they have that belief in me, I'm gonna run through a brick wall for them."

JJ Redick when asked about this sequence from Deandre Ayton: "I’ve been around DA for a season now. I know how special he is for our group to succeed. And I told him this morning, I said to him in the Houston series at one point he was the big part of the reason we were winning the series. He was a big part of the reason we won the series. I believe in him and he’s going to help us win tomorrow."

![(Can you kind of summarize the 5-1 trip?) Austin Reaves: "It was great. Luka [Doncic] scored a lot of buckets." Luka, out of frame: "I beat him in one hole yesterday in golf..." Austin: "He did actually. He beat me in one hole yesterday. He made bogey, I made triple bogey...." (Impressive since Luka just recently started playing golf and you've been playing for many years?) Austin: "I let him win. It's a confidence thing. We need him to be at his best at 7 o'clock at night so."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2037103868501279193/amplify_video_thumb/2037102879689809920/img/CdNHpcL4Q8CMn714.jpg)

![Rui Hachimura on the energy in today's practice, with the Lakers aware of the challenge they have being down 0-3 to the Thunder: "It's tough. They are championship [team] for a reason. We focus on a lot on Shai but I think we talk about more...we should have talked about more other guys. They're killing us. Especially when Shai is off the court, we're really losing those minutes. We talked about that today, how we're gonna guard them as a team. We feel good about it tomorrow."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2053602360073839047/amplify_video_thumb/2053602185238429696/img/iWWyKUxhplsaQj_u.jpg)

Luka Doncic on Bronny James, who had 4 points and pair of steals in 13 minutes: "Definitely a big improvement from last year. I saw him in training camp, he was doing some stuff that I was really impressed with. He did a great job today. Big game for him, that pull-up 2, it was a big bucket. It was one of the most important shots of the game."

![Luka Doncic: "I don't know what has to change, but definitely something needs to change...We got to figure out, that's the thing we have [to do]. Everybody got to talk about it. I know JJ said it's going to be uncomfortable. As [it] should be."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2004418524232683587/amplify_video_thumb/2004418387095461888/img/_TzquCcLu43EhGZR.jpg)
Marcus Smart, who sits next to Deandre Ayton in the locker room, on Deandre's spirits after the early exit in Denver because of left knee soreness: "He’s down. It sucked for him not to be out there in the game. He tried to go and it just didn’t feel right for him and it sucks...I know as of lately he’s been getting a lot of backlash for his effort and his play. He understands it. I know it might not seem like it, but he does and he wants to do good and he wants to help this team and I think that’s what more frustrating for him, because he’s trying."

LeBron James on Rui Hachimura's late 3-pointers that helped the Lakers ahead of the Mavericks en route to their eventual victory in Dallas, as well as Rui's rebounding/defense tonight: "I told him some of the shots that he missed in the fourth quarter against the Clippers, I needed him to make tonight. I was getting on him last night at our dinner. So, he definitely did that. Big-time player, for sure.

JJ Redick on what changes for the Lakers with Luka Doncic sidelined: "From a strategic, tactical standpoint, we obviously are gonna have to play a little bit differently. There's enough that we have in that we can play through LeBron, play through Rui, play through DA. And then we'll just wait and see until Austin and Smart are back, But our mission hasn't changed: we want to go get the 3-seed and we want to win a first-round series."

Austin Reaves on processing the oblique injury that's sidelined him for most of April: "I kinda had a feeling, and like I said, I got a high pain tolerance. And when something bothers me, it's usually something wrong. So super frustrated, obviously...But obviously, our confidence doesn't waver as a team. Basically the message from that day forward was, we're going to do everything as a team, that they were going to do everything as a team to give us an opportunity to come back and play. And they've done exactly what they said."

![JJ Redick: "Like [LeBron James has] done so many times in his career, and I remember him getting ridiculed for it early on when he would make the right play and his teammate would shoot the game-winner, he did it like he's done so many times. And just knew it was good as soon as it left Rui's hands. Just a big-time play."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1996789319994851502/amplify_video_thumb/1996788838644015104/img/ly4893NRxu4LRB8H.jpg)

Austin Reaves on the Lakers' mindset for Monday's Game 4, with LAL down 0-3 to the Thunder, a deficit no team in NBA history has come back from: "Just come and compete. There's a bunch of guys in the locker room that are competitors. Basically the message after the game was just we're gonna come here Monday and we're gonna get a win. Obviously this situation sucks, but that doesn't give us the license to quit. We gotta come in here and compete. We owe the organization that, we owe each other that, we our fans of that. So we're gonna come here Monday and play as hard as we can."

JJ Redick's response when asked if the answers to the Lakers' struggles can be answered with the current personnel/rotation: "We're looking at everything. We've got to be serious about where we are right now. The continual failure of things has a shelf life. And then you've got to make changes. So we're looking at it. But again, I have a belief in the nine guys we've been playing. I have a belief in the rotation."
