For most of the first game of the series between the Lakers and Grizzlies, the two teams were close to each other as it was hotly contested, but in the fourth quarter, Austin Reaves took off and helped the team get a 128-112 victory.
Austin Reaves continues to be a key element in coach Darvin Ham's team as he finished with 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting while going 3-of-5 from beyond the 3-point line, and Twitter showered him with praise.
Former Lakers player and now Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma wrote, "Hillbilly ommmmggg." Damian Lillard, rumored to be a sign in the offseason by the purple possibly and gold, wrote, "My bad... Reaves like that."
Outside of the NBA, celebrity Jake Paul wrote "Hachimura & Reaves (fire emoji)," And the excellent showtime era legend Earvin Magic Johnson reacted with, "See, that's what I'm talking about!!"
Many fans were worried that when the playoffs happened, Austin Reaves was to become the kind of player that disappears in the postseason, but in his first game Reaves has shown he is a real threat to any team rival.
