Austin Reaves Scores 45 Points, the Lakers (without LeBron, Luka) Beat Pacers 124-117

No LeBron, No Luka, no problem. the Lakers win again, behind a huge game from Austin Reaves. With the shorthanded Lakers waiting one more game before the hopeful debuts of Luka Doncic and Mark Williams, plus the return of LeBron James to the lineup after missing Saturday's contest with a sore ankle, a "next man/men" up mentality would be required in order to beat an Indiana Pacers team that's been smoking hot of late, even on the road. No worries. Austin Reaves took over for the Lakers, putting up a career-high 45 points to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists. Rui Hachimura scored 24 points on his 27th birthday. And from there, all the role players not expected to provide counting stats galore found ways to pitch in. In the end, a win that keeps the Lakers climbing up the standings, but also continues a recent trend of top-to-bottom contributions from the entire rotation. Good stuff, indeed!
