Lakers coach J.J. Redick was upset after Game 4 that no foul was called when Luka Doncic went down to the floor with 35 seconds to play in Minnesota’s 116-113 victory.

“Luka got tripped,” Redick said. “That was a blatant trip.”

The NBA confirmed the coach’s assertion in its last-two minute report released Monday, noting, “McDaniels steps forward into Doncic’s path, initiating illegal foot contact that causes him to lose his balance.”

Minnesota led by one at the time. Had a foul been called, Doncic would’ve gone to the line for two free throws. Instead, the Lakers had to call a timeout to salvage possession, and Minnesota stole the ball on the ensuing inbounds play.
