With many people discussing the officiating, LeBron James giving a stellar performance and Anthony Davis being the defensive juggernaut in the Lakers' victory against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, it would be easy to forget that Austin Reaves played a key role in the win.
However, without Reaves' fourth-quarter performance, the Lakers are likely watching the In-Season Tournament semis instead of playing in it.

With the game on the line, Reaves found the ball in his hands and it was James setting screens and moving out of the way so he could go to work.
