The Los Angeles Lakers were able to get the win over the Phoenix Suns after trailing for most of the game, but coach Darvin Ham has been the worst enemy of the team.

Ham gave 35 minutes of playtime to Gabe Vincent who wasn't good, even when scored 7 points but failed five 3-point attempts without scoring any of them, over Austin Reaves who played 28 minutes, scored 10 points, and scored one three-pointer out of two attempts.

But coach Darvin's biggest mistake seems to be one that he constantly repeated last season without giving playing minutes to Lonnie Walker in the second half of the season, as he has been benching the sophomore Max Christie for two games in a row.

Christie is ready to have playing time, instead, Cam Reddish has taken those minutes as coach Darvin Ham continues to look clueless. Still, the team was good enough in the last quarter to take the win over Kevin Durant and the Suns.

The Lakers shouldn't celebrate this win

Without Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, the Suns were hard to beat by the Lakers as they have mostly their complete team, with Jarred Vanderbilt being the only key player to miss the game.
