Unable to trust any of his reserve players in Game 4 of a best-of-seven series against the Timberwolves, Lakers coach JJ Redick opted to play the same five players for the entire second half — rather than play any of his bench players — in a crushing 116-113 defeat to go down 3-1 in the series.

Many are talking about Lakers coach JJ Redick's decision to play only five players for the entire second half in Game 4: LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith.

LeBron James may be largely over the hip flexor and groin ailments he recently suffered, especially since he was able to score 38 points in Game 3.
