JJ Redick didn’t sugarcoat it after the Lakers’ win: Deandre Ayton sat the fourth quarter because Jaxson Hayes was simply playing better. Ayton’s lack of energy and low impact has become a real concern, especially with LA’s playoff hopes on the line. Hayes stepped up with hustle and defense, helping the Lakers seal a much-needed victory. Fans are buzzing—should the Lakers stick with Hayes if Ayton can’t turn things around? Or is it time to look for a new starting center? Ayton’s response in the next game could shape the rest of LA’s season. #Sports #Basketball #Lakers
