2025 NBA Playoffs: Redick says rebounding, turnovers costly in loss – Silver Screen and Roll https://t.co/71m08dD5PP— LakerTom (@LakerTom) April 29, 2025
The Lakers failed to win either of their two games in Minnesota against the Wolves over the weekend. Now they are heading home down 3-1 and one loss away from their season being over.
Each game is its own singular event, but one thing that’s been clear is that the Wolves have been the sharper team.
While it’s human nature to focus on the final quarter of a close game, especially when your coach makes zero substitutions in a half, during his postgame comments, head coach JJ Redick highlighted the Lakers’ errors in the first half as a factor in their Game 4 loss.
“I thought we played well enough in the first half with our first shot defense, we should have been up double figures,” Redick said. “Instead, we’re down. Some turnovers led to some baskets and then offensive rebounds just killed us in the first half.”
