Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick raised eyebrows (and made modern NBA history) in Game 4 of the team’s first-round series when he elected to play the same lineup for the entire second half against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday afternoon.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick made headlines on Wednesday, just hours before Game 5 of their first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. During a pregame press conference, Redick was asked about his reliance on assistants for late-game substitutions.

After suffering a disheartening loss in Game 4 by a final score of 116-113, Los Angeles is officially in a must-win scenario. Coming back from being down 3-1 in a series is difficult, but the Lakers have the talent to make it happen if they play to their full ability.
