JJ Redick outsmarted himself on that final possession. Rui Hachimura has been the Lakers' most reliable shooter in these playoffs. Subbing him out when in need of a game-tying 3PT is wild.
Deandre Ayton could opt out to look for a bigger payday, per @TheAthletic
“Ayton, who certainly played to his $8.1 million contract this season, had a strong first-round series against Houston All-Star Alperen Şengün. He could opt out to try to find a bigger payday with the Lakers or elsewhere.”

Obviously a major accomplishment. The fact that it happened against a team not trying to win and was aided by his team intentionally fouling when they were already up 20 will factor how it will be remembered, though.
