JJ Redick's first game as the Lakers head coach got off to a rough start in the preseason opener.

The Lakers trailed by as many as 20 points in the first half with Minnesota 's starters only playing one shift.

Rookie rookie Dalton Knecht and third-year guard Max Christie showed that they could be a part of Redick ’s rotation.

Rookie Bronny James scored his only points on a driving left-handed layup late in the fourth quarter with the Lakers down 20 .
