Coach JJ Redick said Sunday the issue is crucial before Tuesday's Western Conference semi-final opener against defending champions Oklahoma City after Los Angeles averaged 17.7 turnovers versus Houston.
Redick said Oklahoma City's defensive pressure is stronger than Houston's, with the Thunder ranking top five in disruptive categories, first in points off turnovers and first in defensive rating again.
