Redick: Reeves has some outstanding performances on the defensive end and he can break into the penalty area and cause fouls.

Today the Lakers defeated the Hornets 121-111 away from home. Redick accepted an interview with the media after the game.

Reporter: "What do you think of Reeves' situation? Especially since you successfully controlled his playing time under 30 minutes."

Redick: "I'm very happy that we let him play. His playing time was 1 minute and 25 seconds more than the expected time limit. You know the game situation determines But I thought he played very well and had some very bright performances on the defensive end."

"We saw some of his explosive ball-handling, getting into the paint, drawing fouls, and then creating opportunities for others, and I thought he did a very good job in those areas today."

Reeves played 29 minutes in this game, making 7 of 17 shots, 2 of 10 three-pointers, 8 of 11 free throws, scoring 24 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, with only 1 turnover, and a game-high plus-minus of +18.
