The Los Angeles Lakers got back in the win column on Friday night, securing their first road victory of the season against the Toronto Raptors. Anthony Davis was, once again, the star of the night. But L.A. also got important contributions from Austin Reaves, who finished with 20 points and six assists on 4-for-13 from the field.
Reaves was one of four Lakers to score 19 or more points along with Davis, LeBron James and D’Angelo Russell. But he made this happen despite rolling his ankle early in the game. The Lakers were absolutely rolling in the first, and Reaves’ ankle turn was one of several things that contributed to the Raptors being able to make a run and get back in the game.
