Austin Reeves, very brilliant but too isolated


After his 51 points against kings Austin Reaves still played 39 minutes and still scored plenty of points against Portland. 41 on 13/22 shooting, allowing him to score 92 points in two games. Like Luka Dončić during the first two meetings of the season.

Except that unlike the scenario against Sacramento, this time, Los Angeles do perdu. It must be said that the Lakers had to do without Luka Doncic, LeBron James, but also Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent, as well as Maxi Kleber and Jackson Hayes… “It was difficult considering the number of players who were absent. It is difficult to organize an attack without a ball carrier », laments JJ Redick.

Two more matches without Luka Doncic

California’s offense therefore coughed up, losing 25 turnovers. The only real option to run the game, Austin Reeves carried the ball a lot, which explains his 8 turnovers…

“I’m tired, but that’s why we do this sport. It’s fun »confirms the defender, who played 78 minutes between Sunday and Monday night. “Obviously we didn’t play at the level we hoped, but like JJ Redick said, it’s complicated when rotations are short. There were seven players out. We played hard, enough to win, but we didn’t play well enough.”

In addition to his 41 points, the Lakers guard also recorded 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. Taking advantage of his commitments, he has averaged 35.8 points (57% including 43% on 3-pointers) and 8.5 assists since Sunday. And it could continue against Minnesota and Memphis, before the return of the Slovenian.

“He’s a competitor”Jarred Vanderbilt declares to his teammate. “He’s up to the challenge every time. He just scored more than 90 points in two nights… It’s crazy. He gave it his all on the floor and we couldn’t win. But we played with good intentions.”
