The Los Angeles Lakers got a career night from guard Austin Reaves against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. He put up a career-high 38 points on 13-for-23 from the field and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. It helped lift the Lakers to their second consecutive win, and was a perfect one-two punch for LeBron James with Anthony Davis out of the lineup.
Reaves and James combined for 67 points on highly efficient shooting in the win. And when Reaves had already secured a career high and had the chance to go for 40, he opted to throw a dime to James in the final minutes to help guarantee a victory.
