Lakers News: Austin Reaves Got Emotional Thinking Of Family After Christmas Day Game-Winner

Austin Reaves was the hero for the Los Angeles Lakers in their thrilling Christmas Day bout against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. He not only posted a triple-double, but he had the game-winning layup in the final seconds to give the Lakers a two-point win. It was an incredible moment for Reaves, who stepped up in a huge win with Anthony Davis out and Curry doing Curry things on the offensive end.

After the game, all the focus was on the third-year Lakers guard, who has truly begun to establish himself as a legitimate starter-level player in the NBA.
