Austin Reaves, a teammate of NBA superstar LeBron James on Los Angeles Lakers, shared his candid reaction and thoughts on the final play of the game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Austin Reaves scored a career-high 38 points, LeBron James had 29 and the Los Angeles Lakers held on to beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-101.

Reaves' career-high meant a little more as it came against D'Angelo Russell, his former Lakers backcourt partner. When Russell was traded to the Nets recently, many analysts felt it was a sign of the Lakers choosing Reaves over the Ohio State product. As such, there was heightened pressure on both guards to perform on Friday.

Austin Reaves finishes with 38 points and the Lakers hold on for a 102-101 win after former guard D'Angelo Russell misses a three-pointer in the final seconds.

Heading into Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers were set to take on a rebuilding Brooklyn Nets who were coming off their worst loss in franchise history against the L.A.

When the Los Angeles Lakers traded D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets last month, it meant Austin Reaves was officially the full-time starting point guard. That move was kind of made clear when Lakers head coach JJ Redick moved Russell to the bench early in the season.
