For the second game in a row, Austin Reaves was outstanding, even when this time, against the NY Knicks he started somehow slow but ended the game on a high note scoring 22 points but his best play of the night wasn't a bucket.

Austin Reaves threw a behind-HIS-back pass to the win Taurean Prince who didn't hesitate and scored the 3-pointer, making the guard have one hell of an assist that blew the minds of the Lakers fans and has gone viral since.

Following his impressive night against the Boston Celtics, this time with Anthony Davis and LeBron James back on the court for Saturday's night contest vs. the Knicks, Austin gave another great performance.

Reaves played 39 minutes, 6/13 FG, 3/6 3-PTS, 7/8 FT, scoring 22 points with 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocks with a +8 in the plus/minus for the LA Lakers being the second-best player on the court for the purple and gold just behind the 24 points LeBron James scored.

LeBron James didn't want to elaborate on recent cryptic message

Considering James missed the Lakers’ game against the Boston Celtics with an injury before returning in the win over the Knicks, he had not spoken to the media since posting the tweet until shootaround on Saturday in New York. While James was asked about it, he declined to elaborate on what he meant, via The Athletic's Jovan Buha: “No,” James said when asked if he’d like to clarify his tweet.
