Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick took a subtle shot at NBA officials after his team's ugly win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

Video highlights of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James who hit the game-winning free throws against the Phoenix Suns.

That is, unless you're JJ Redick, because he lives for these types of situations. He got to do so today as the Los Angeles Lakers hacked out a 116-114 victory over the pesky Phoenix Suns. Those things – the collapse, the technicals, and the barbs – all happened in this game.

The team won't have the full force of their star trio. Star guard Austin Reaves has been ruled out with a calf strain. According to reports, Reaves sustained the injury before their game against the Spurs. However, he still played and finished with 15 points on 37.5% shooting.

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly plan to be active before the trade deadline, with a 3-and-D player among their priorities.

The Lakers are starting to do their due diligence as far as trying to upgrade their roster via the trade market.

A funny moment during the Lakers vs Suns game went viral, where Luka Doncic gave a playful reaction to the camera around the Lakers reporter.
