Redick Adjusts Timeout Strategy for Thunder Series

Lakers coach JJ Redick revealed he'll be more diligent with timeouts during the upcoming series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, particularly to counter their explosive runs. "They're really good at runs, and part of that is how good their defense is, their ability to create turnovers," Redick said, noting that live-ball turnovers have been particularly damaging against the Thunder. asg-reflektory.pl

The adjustments come after the Lakers lost all four regular-season matchups to the Thunder, including three by at least 29 points. With Oklahoma City leading the NBA in defensive rating and points off turnovers, Redick recognizes he must prioritize immediate intervention during Thunder spurts rather than saving timeouts for later in games.
