JJ Redick made a bold decision to not make any substitutions during the second half. Via ESPN's SportsCenter: "The Lakers used the same five players for the ENTIRE second half vs. Minnesota.They are the first team to use the same five for an entire half in a playoff game since 1997-98"Many fans were upset with Redick on social media.

With the Lakers trailing 2-1 in their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and facing a (probably insurmountable) 3-1 deficit in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, head coach JJ Redick made a decision: He was either going to sink or swim with the guys who got him to this point.

Redick said postgame he decided to not sub out anyone during halftime, keeping the five-man lineup of LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Dorian Finney-Smith and Rui Hachimura on the floor for the entirety of the second half.
