LOS ANGELES -- Lakers coach Darvin Ham sat down in front of reporters following his team's 122-111 win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday and, before fielding any questions, couldn't help but smile at how his new-look starting lineup performed.
"You like the little trick up the sleeve?" Ham asked.
He was referring to his decision to put Austin Reaves, coming off a career-best 35 points, in the first unit over Malik Beasley.
Reaves responded with a career-best 11 assists against the Suns, to go with 25 points, and the Lakers beat the Western Conference's No.
