On Thursday night, Austin Reaves gave an impressive performance, leading the team to get the win over the biggest rival of the franchise the Boston Celtics. To make things more impressive, it was a victory without their two biggest stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Tonight, the Lakers faced the NY Knicks and while Austin Reaves was a no-show in the first half of the game, in the final one, the Lakers guard gave an outstanding performance.

Austin Reaves on his big fourth quarter: "It's great. It's my first time playing here, the atmosphere is unbelievable. For us to come out with a win while being productive in the fourth quarter... a win is a win and that's all I care about."

The Lakers guard continues to prove his worth and how he has become the third star of the team. Austin in the first half of the game vs. Knicks had scored less than 6 points. Reaves ended up scoring 22 points, 3/6 from 3 with 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
