    For nβ‰₯15n \geq 15, we prove that the minimum number of triangles in an nn-vertex K4K_4-saturated graph with minimum degree 4 is exactly 2nβˆ’42n-4, and that there is a unique extremal graph. This is a triangle version of a result of Alon, Erd\H{o}s, Holzman, and Krivelevich from 1996. Additionally, we show that for any s3˘erβ‰₯3s \u3e r \geq 3 and tβ‰₯2(sβˆ’2)+1t \geq 2 (s-2)+1, there is a KsK_s-saturated nn-vertex graph with minimum degree tt that has (sβˆ’2rβˆ’1)2rβˆ’1n+cs,r,t\binom{ s-2}{r-1}2^{r-1} n + c_{s,r,t} copies of KrK_r. This shows that unlike the number of edges, the number of KrK_r\u27s (r3˘e2r \u3e2) in a KsK_s-saturated graph is not forced to grow with the minimum degree, except for possibly in lower order terms
