Austin Reaves produced 32 points (12-of-21 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Nuggets.
While Luka Dončić’s fadeaway with five-tenths of a second remaining in overtime was the deciding basket, he would not have been able to hit that shot if not for Reaves. The Lakers guard successfully pulled off the intentionally missed free throw, grabbing his own rebound and scoring with 1.9 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime. For the second time this season, Reaves has scored at least 30 points in three consecutive games.
