It was a five-game series to forget for JJ Redick and the Los Angeles Lakers. Their season came to an end on Wednesday night, falling 103-96 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the opening-round playoff series.

Luka Doncic and LeBron James both endorsed the job JJ Redick did in his first season as a coach after the Lakers' loss vs. the Timberwolves.

LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith played the entire second half, which was all the more notable when the Timberwolves outscored the Lakers 32-19 in the fourth quarter to escape with a three-point win.
