Lakers: JJ Redick to rely less on his bench after Raptors scare

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Toronto Raptors 131-125 in the NBA on 2 November, but not without a scare. According to BasketUSA, JJ Redick opened up his bench late on and nearly saw his side squander a comfortable lead.

The coach has taken note: BasketUSA reports he will not hesitate to do without his substitutes in such situations again.

The Lakers return to action against Miami Heat on 3 November at 03:00 Casablanca time.
