Anthony Davis scored 27, D'Angelo Russell added 26 and Austin Reaves finished with 25 as the Lakers held off the Phoenix Suns 122-111 at Crypto.com Arena.
With the clock ticking on their season and every game’s importance escalating, the Lakers needed to conquer a familiar rival, one that has dominated matchups between the two for more than two years., who the Lakers have defeated just once in their last nine meetings, the team was going to have to be close to its best, the mistakes meaning more as each possession took on extra weight.
The little something turned out to be fairly major, Ham switching the Lakers’ starting lineup for the first time post trade deadline without injuries playing a factor. The change paid immediate returns, Reaves leading the Lakers with 10 first-quarter points. And in his shift off the bench, Beasley made a pair of threes.
In Reaves, Ham said he has seen the second-year guard grow into a player worthy of an expanded role. “I just think he’s maturing before our eyes as a high-level NBA player. We always saw the talent. We always saw the glimpses. Big moments where he played really, really huge for us. Now it’s just more on a consistent basis,” Ham said pregame. “He’s comfortable. He knows what spots he wants to get to. He understands when things are kinda off-balance for us offensively.
