Like most of the season, the Lakers have lost the first quarter, but there's a player from LA focused on helping the team to get a win

Despite not having the best start of the season for Austin Reaves, once coach Darvin Ham sent him to have a coming-off-the-bench role and become a playmaker for the 2nd unit and close games, the Lakers guard has been able to make an epic comeback.

Austin has shown he is the third star of the team, when LeBron and Anthony Davis aren't giving their best performances, Reaves steps up his game to help the team and tonight's no exception as he has scored 10 points the most the group has in the game.

The purple and gold lost the first quarter 27-35, with coach Darvin Ham having available most of his roster compared to how the team played on Friday night in the loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

Austin has scored two 3-pointers that have helped the Lakers to cut some distance to the Knicks and despite the team losing for 8 points, things aren't worse thanks to the Lakers guard.
