Austin Reaves leads the Lakers to an absolutely shocking win over the Celtics: 32 points on 10-18 FG / career-high 7-10 3PT / 5-7 FT, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists



No LeBron, No AD…no problem? Austin Reaves cooked the Celtics tonight with the Lakers’ two All-Stars out. An completely unexpected win for the Lakers.

    Brilliant 5D chess move by the Celtics so the Lakers trade LeBron

    If you only browsed r/nba and never watched ball you’d think Reaves was an absolute bum, not a guy who can drop 32 with 7 3s as the #1 option in a win against the best team in the league.

    Any other team and he’d probably be beloved. Undrafted yet became the third best player on a WCF team in just his second season. Objectively cool story.

    The Celtics were 15.5 point favorites, insane that they pulled this off

    People on this sub were acting like he’s a bum no one wants.

    There’s a reason teams ask for him when discussing trades with the Lakers.

    Hi guys, I just woke up from a 3 day coma. Surely the most overrated player in the league Austin Reaves contributed nothing to the Lakers winning against the 1st seeded Celtics this evening??

    He is Him. Hopefully we don’t trade him. He will be a top tier roleplayer in a year or two

    We’re paying Austin an annual salary of ~13 million for four years lol

    Much has been made about Reaves defense but clearly the Lakers forgot to turn his “Microwave Scorer” setting to W for Wumbo to offset it

    Can someone tell me what the fuck happened in this game? Free throws were 26-7, lakers shot 53% from 3, Celtics had nine turnovers in the first QUARTER. 

    I was on a plane so I could only follow the box score – what happened?

  28. Disastrous_Bluejay57

    Wow… we had to fight tooth and nail to beat Boston by 2. The Lakers junior squad strolled in and smacked them in the face

  29. Antiseptictaco

    Most threes by a laker against the Celtics since Kobe
