Austin Reaves is back in the starting lineup, Lakers hits a franchise low vs. Miami

The Los Angeles Lakers are desperate to get a win tonight, at least that was the narrative before the game started and coach Darvin Ham decided to bring back Austin Reaves to his starting five, in a new attempt to shake things up.

D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura are unavailable for tonight's game, and Darvin decided to send in his starting five lineup Austin Reaves, Cam Reddish, Taurean Prince, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis. Still, the first quarter was a disaster.

Even when LeBron James and Anthony Davis are playing, Austin Reaves has returned to the starting five lineup and Miami doesn't have their best player as Jimmy Butler is out, the team is trailing by 7 points at the end of the first quarter.

Miami is beating 25-18 the Lakers and the purple and gold now have tied the franchise record for most turnovers (10) in a quarter. A complete mess is the team and Darvin Ham has been pointed out as the person to be blamed even when tonight tried to start correcting things with Reaves back in the starting five.

Austin Reaves was the best Laker of the first quarter

The team may have tied the franchise record for the most number of turnovers in a quarter, but Austin Reaves was the best player for the team in the first twelve minutes. The team has been a disaster and now will look to make a comeback before half-time.
