I wanted to check out some stats because before I looked up this information my thought was the following: We keep giving up leads in the 4th (trying to not lose instead of keep winning) and our offense gets stale with one of our best scoring options on the bench (wood).
I do also know stats can sometimes be misleading. This doesnt account for foul problems, injuries, half court shots, volume shooters, etc.
My thought going into it was if we can’t hold a lead and we are stale on offense why do we keep putting out a “defensive” lineup to finish the ends of games? If we are not scoring or making stops why not just keep out our offensive firepower?
What I think after the stats: Reggie and Dwight getting 6.3 and 7 minutes in the 4th should be given to Tim, Wood, and Josh Green.

Luka’s 4th quarter production is somewhat alarming when you look at full game stats. He’s averaging over 10 pts in each of the first 3 quarters, but then that drops to 4.9 in the 4th. He’s shooting 52% from the field this season but only 38% in 4th. Definitely seems like he fatigues down the stretch
