Redick Adjusts Timeout Strategy for Thunder Series

Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Lakers coach JJ Redick will adjust his timeout strategy for the upcoming Western Conference semifinals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, acknowledging the need to be quicker in calling timeouts during Thunder's explosive runs.

Redick admitted he's been criticized for not calling timeouts quickly enough during opponent's hot streaks. With the Thunder leading the NBA in defensive rating and points off turnovers, the Lakers coach emphasized he can't worry about preserving timeouts for end-game situations.

"I've got to be more diligent than I normally am," Redick said. The Lakers lost all four regular-season matchups against Oklahoma City, with three defeats coming by at least 29 points. Blunting Thunder momentum through immediate scoring after timeouts will be crucial for Los Angeles to compete in this series. forumteam.blog
