The Lakers SG Austin Reaves, who hit Patrick Beverley with the "too small" gesture, talked about it

The Los Angeles Lakers got a massive win on Wednesday in their rematch against the Chicago Bulls. After the bittersweet Sunday night game, when the team saw the return of their best player but got the loss, the purple and gold won in the rematch.

The three main standouts were LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Austin Reaves; the latest even became the highlight of the night after scoring over former Laker Patrick Beverley and hitting him with a "too small" gesture after Bev did the same on Sunday to LeBron.

In the post-game presser, Austin Reaves spoke about the situation and responded similarly to the "I'm just having fun" Pat Bev gave on Sunday.

Reaves said: "He did it last time we played on LeBron. It wasn't something I thought about all game, but I felt like the right time, right situation. As you said, Pat and I have a good relationship; I respect him; it's just me competing." Austin also said he was having fun.

The Lakers are now the 8th seed in the Western Conference

The Los Angeles Lakers got the win on their first on-the-road game against the Chicago Bulls and have jumped to the 8th position an now have a .500 mark.
