A no-look pass from Austin Reeves sets up Rui Hachimura’s jumper

Austin Reaves had a great climax with Rui Hachimura during Los Angeles The match between the Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night.

Reaves is in the fifth season of his NBA career, all with the Lakers. He has firmly grown into his role as one of the top scorers on the Lakers offense, flashing his skills alongside LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

Throughout the match against Philadelphia, he made an incredible play with Hachimura. It happened midway through the third quarter when Reaves went over his defender, entered the play and brought out the dog behind the head to Hachimura, who ended the climax with a mid-range shot

AUSTIN REAVES ARE YOU SERIOUS???
