First off, most players whom I have seen interviews with, will tell you that just getting warmed up and going through pre game is almost as intensive as the game itself.
Getting your body loose and in condition to play.

Mikal Bridges played all of 4 seconds - FOUR SECONDS - in order to keep his consecutive games streak going before he committed a foul and was subbed out. This seems like a pretty cheap way to keep
that kind of streak going. I mean, he could've at least played a few minutes.
Guys have been denied triple-doubles for shooting the ball at the wrong backboard and grabbing the "rebound." Bridges' four seconds of hoops doesn't seem any more legitimate than that to me...
