The Lakers played that Christmas game with only four players who were on the roster from last year’s Christmas game:
– LeBron James
– Anthony Davis
– Austin Reaves
– Max Christie
Lakers were 13-20 after Christmas last year
They are 16-15 now – 8:10 PM

Austin Reaves’ 3-pointer in transiton — off a Taurean Prince steal and a great screen from AD near halfcourt — have the Lakers back within four, 83-79, with 4:28 left in the third quarter. LA is hanging around. AD continues to carry them (27 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists). – 6:46 PM

Interesting context from Darvin about why D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves, who thrived as a starting backcourt last season, but struggled enough this year to separate them, could work better paired off the bench. Obviously, more sample size is needed, but so far, so good. AK pic.twitter.com/P1pDPdO9u5 – 12:42 AM

Lakers’ shotmaking has been pretty absurd tonight. Austin Reaves drew contact from Kenrich Williams on that 3-pointer. Mark Daigneault challenged the foul but call stands.
Reaves makes FT. Lakers leading Thunder 98-75 late in the 3Q – 9:41 PM

Halftime: Lakers 71, Thunder 59
LA outscored OKC 35-20 in a dominant second quarter. LeBron has 15 points and 5 assists. Rui Hachimura has 16 points. AD has 12 points. DLo has 12 points. One result of new rotation: DLo (10 min) and Austin Reaves (10 min) are both playing less. – 9:08 PM

The new Lakers starting lineup of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Cam Reddish, Taurean Prince and Jarred Vanderbilt goes -1 in its first stint.
First subs off the bench are Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura, 5:10 into the game. – 8:22 PM

My guess (purely a guess) on the Lakers starting lineup is that they know a trade is coming soon and want to keep Austin Reaves accustomed to a sixth man role. – 8:00 PM

Asked by JJ Redick on The Old Man and the Three for his takeaways from being around James on a daily basis since he entered the league in 2021-22, Reaves homed in on how diligently the four-time NBA Finals MVP works on his game and takes care of his body. “The main one is obviously just being a pro,” Reaves said. “First in the gym, last to leave, his body of work—literally, on his body—not many people can play this long. Honestly, nobody’s done it at this high a level. He basically lays out the blueprint for you, you just gotta pay attention and apply that to yourself.” -via Clutch Points / December 23, 2023
