Luke Kennard's clutch shot kept the Lakers' 9-game win streak alive since the acquisition of him from the Los Angeles Lakers. The team's decision to acquire Kennard was made to address a shortage of floor-spacing, which has been a problem for the team all season. He is one of the NBA's most potent long-range specialists, with only Steve Kerr's higher career three-point percentage than him. Despite a poor performance from him, Kennard credits coach JJ Redick for helping him settle the situation.
