Redick Adjusts Timeout Strategy vs Thunder

Redick, who has guided the Lakers to at least 50 wins in both his seasons, has been criticized at times for not calling timeouts quickly enough during opponent's hot streaks. With the Lakers set to face the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, he acknowledged he must change his approach.

"They're really good at runs, and part of that is how good their defense is, their ability to create turnovers," Redick said. "I've got to be more diligent than I normally am." The Thunder dominated the Lakers in the regular season, winning all four games by an average of 29 points, and led the NBA in defensive rating and points off turnovers. newsbetting.cv
