“I think it was huge. It helped us off to a great start,” he said about putting Reaves in the starting lineup. “His ability to play downhill, draw fouls, score at all three levels, find guys, his ability to playmake.

“He was huge for us. He’s been huge for us all year. You mentioned last game, he’s in great space right now felling his game, locked in to what we’re trying to accomplish. I just felt like [putting him in starting lineup] made all the sense in the world.”
