Magic Johnson questioned why JJ Redick played LeBron James and Luka Doncic so much in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves

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.

The loss was marked by a controversial coaching decision from first-year head coach JJ Redick, who played his starting five—LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and Dorian Finney-Smith—for the entire second half.
