JJ Redick didn't mince words about his love for road playoff games ahead of his first postseason contest in a hostile environment as an NBA head coach. Redick's Los Angeles Lakers left the West Coast for Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves in Games 3 and 4 of a first-round series even at one game apiece.

The Lakers will go into Game 3 against the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Friday night hoping to regain homecourt advantage after suffering a loss to open the playoffs in Los Angeles in Game 1. While the Lakers bounced back with a much better effort in Game 2, and a win, they're still at a disadvantage in the series.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick feels that his team's first-round playoff series against the Timberwolves could continue to be a physical and chippy one.
