P.J. Hairston playing big role in smaller lineup

The 6-foot-5 shooter just never expected that would mean spending some time at the '4' -- a position usually reserved for bigger guys. “I do like it though -- because the smaller lineup gives us more shooters on the floor, gives us a different look,’’ Hairston said Tuesday.
