In the postseason, head coaches tend to shorten their rotations. All possessions are playoff valbs and the coaches don’t play Somne, which he cannot trust.
This proved true in the second half of Lakers vs. Timberwolves Game 4. Jed coach JJ Redick created a replacement group for Zero in the second half. All five players did not come out of the court. This is the first time a team team has used the same five players in half in NBA Hisotry. After Los Angeles blew a chance to win Game 4, JJ Redick recovered a massive amount of critics once again.
Why did JJ Redick win zero subsidies late in Game 4?
“It’s not 2k. You can’t play 5 (players) straight for 24 minutes!”

Los Angeles took a 10-point lead and began the fourth quarter of Game 4 on Sunday at Afarnoon. They controlled a good portion of the second half, but lost 116-114 to the Timberwolves. The Lakers are currently down 3-1 in their first series against Minnesota. Later in Game 4, Lakers head coach JJ Redick made the NBA sisotry. It was the first time that a team had used the same five players in half of the playoff game.
Luka Doncic, Lebron James, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith played all 24 minutes of the second half in Game 4. They believe the Lakers players were gased by the end of the fourth quarter. Jackson Hayes started the game with Center for the Lakers, but he played just four minutes.
Dorian Finney Smith got off the bench and played for the Lakers for the 41 minutes. Los Angeles surpassed 31-19 in the fourth quarter, and Los Angeles became gas. The team is down 3-1 against the Timberwolves. They will need to win the final three games to advance to the semi-finals. Didn’t the Lakers provide assistance in the second half of why they’re losing this series? They could have returned to Los Angeles on Wednesday and tied up 2-2.
