The Los Angeles Lakers won a dramatic encounter with the Indiana Pacers with their final gasp tip-in from LeBron James.
Luka Donsic admitted that she was relieved when LeBron James turned the Lakers’ victory over in an unsuccessful shot in Indiana with a missed shot.
The second half bucket sealed the LA Lakers’ 120-119 victory, snapping the Pacers’ five-game victory, losing in their own three games.
Rick Carlisle has admitted to making mistakes in his time management, but it is also worth celebrating the star who lighted up the game.
Tyreese Halliburton was the driving force behind the home team with 18 assists, but Luka Donsic led the night with 34 points, complementing Austin Reeves’ brilliance with 24.
Speaking about the sports centre following a dramatic late victory, Kendrick Perkins saw that Austin Reeves is the real driving force behind La Lakers now.
Despite Luka Doncic and Lebron James pairing up for the second half of the game’s winner, Reaves’ 24-4-5 was essential, especially on Lebron’s low-score night.
Perkins has begun.
“What JJ Redick, Lebron James and Luka Doncic have on him is trust. When he took over that run, when the Lakers took over in the second quarter, Lebron James took the back seat and Austin Reaves went to work.”
Reaves’ has grown taller up to this season, bringing the highest numbers of his career.
His 24 points against the Pacers came amid a night of effective shooting from outside the arc. He went just 1-8 from the 3-point range.
Perkins admits that he has no idea how to explain Reaves, but he appreciates his output.
He continued.
“He’s a middle guy, but if the Lakers are going to run deep in the postseason, it’s because of the game like this behind Austin Reeves.”
Austin Reeves is the third star of the La Lakers and has been truly promoted to his profile this season. His career-high performance came against the Indiana Pacers in a previous game in February, where he scored 45 points.
His second, third and fourth-highest scoring games also rival previous bests this season, 38, 37 and 35.
The Reaves have received a lot of praise this season, with former star Derek Fisher recently praised his performance.
Luka Donsic recently admitted that Austin Reeves has not been drafted, and Flower Star has put on an impressive number comparable to Magic Johnson’s first four seasons with the Lakers.
