Usually confined to a role of scorer from the bench, Austin Reaves last night burst the screen as a long-time holder. Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell less strong, it was the substitute who took over by extinguishing the Magic in style: 35 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, career record!
Breaking his career record by scoring 35 pawns is class. Do it in the jersey of the Lakers in the heart of La La Land in a game that is also important for the maintenance? Nah, that’s just fantastic there. Imagine that this is the feat achieved by Austin Reaves last night. Against the Magic, it was absolutely necessary to win, but the usual leaders of Darvin Ham do not come out with their standard numbers. It is therefore this good Austin who will take over, like a valiant knight determined to give everything for his glorious kingdom.
Well, let’s not overdo it in the lyrical register and let’s get to the heart of the matter: how it’s done. Merely. That’s the word. No forced shots, any movement made in accordance with what the game requires at that precise moment. Basketball is sometimes complicated, but if you apply yourself to respecting the tempo and the movements of others, everything becomes much clearer and it is almost like reading it like an open book.
Austin Reaves’ career record is shattered, and more importantly: the Lakers won. With this success, they remain within firing range of the competition in the race for the Playoffs, although the gaps do not allow another loss. Come on, congratulations again Austin.
