For instance, I think he made a conscious decision to give Maxi extended run to see if he could gain any confidence on offense. In the first half, he had a pretty long run. He may wanted to see other things as well, so this is why Marshall didn't get a ton of minutes. It brings up an interesting discussion though, how Marshall and Grimes are playing they absolutely deserve minutes.
The PF minutes in this game were split between their PFs ie PJ and Maxi (and OMax, their 3rd stringer, got the garbage ones). Nothing odd about that.
PJ did sit a bit extra in the first half and Maxi played extra, but for an obvious reason - foul trouble - and when the game ended early, his total looked small. But the game itself dictated the minutes.
The PFs played together for about 5 minutes, so one or the other also got time at "SF" while Klay played reduced minutes for some unknown reason..
