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.

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.

Late in Game 4 between the Lakers and Timberwolves, Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels appeared to trip Luka Doncic, but no foul was called.
