Follow on XMultiple AuthorsEmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsLOS ANGELES -- After a testy bench exchange between JJ Redick and Luka Doncic made the rounds on the internet, the Los Angeles Lakers coach said he didn't know why the interaction warranted extra attention."I don't know why it went viral," Redick said before the Lakers hosted the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. "It felt very normal to me."The clip in question occurred during L. A.'s 129-101 road win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, when Doncic was subbed out of the game and walked to his seat on the bench without accepting Redick's fist bump. Redick followed Doncic down the sideline, and the two shared a few heated words before Redick walked back toward half court.
