Lakers head coach JJ Redick said there is a "cheat code" for winning in the NBA, but it is actually something that is simple and old-fashioned.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick believes he has cracked the code for winning in the NBA, and it has nothing to do with advanced analytics or strategic playcalling. Instead, he says the "cheat code" to success is far simpler—playing hard every single night.

If you play hard every night, you have a chance to win,” the first-year coach said after the Lakers gave up an 18-point lead but still managed to win Thursday.
