Austin Reaves Becomes Unlikely Hero Sunday
2 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves popped up with a huge performance Sunday against Orlando, leading the team to a 111-105 victory with a career-high 35 points. He was only 1-for-4 from deep but shot a good 9-for-14 from the field and lived on the line with a 16-for-18 effort. In 30 minutes off the bench, Reaves was also able to get six rebounds and six assists with three turnovers. The 24-year-old has become a reliable contributor over the final stretch of the season, averaging 17.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists this month. Reaves comes off the bench but is getting 30-plus minutes regularly and should continue to play a big part in the rotation for the rest of the way.
