Over the past couple of weeks, Austin Reaves has really begun growing into his more on-ball role with the Los Angeles Lakers. In the last 10 games, the point guard is averaging 21 points and 8.2 assists while maintaining good efficiency from the floor as well.
Unfortunately, Reaves was held in check, as were the Lakers as a whole, against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night. The guard finished with just 14 points and three assists while committing five turnovers in the Lakers’ 14-point loss that wasn’t even that close.
Overall, the game showed that the Clippers as a team are ahead of the Lakers in terms of their identity and where they want to be, something Reaves admitted his team is still trying to figure out.
