The Los Angeles Lakers have Anthony Davis and Lebron James, one of the greatest duos in the NBA today, but for their good fortune, there is a new duo that is improving the team even more.

The purple and gold are looking like a dangerous team to be feared of in the postseason, and now that Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell are having great chemistry together, things are looking better for the team.

Reaves, as a starter, has fit in seamlessly, but his fit next to Russell looks like a perfect pairing. The sophomore couldn't help but gush about his running mate via Broderick Turner of L.A. Times:

"Man, I love playing with him," Reaves said. "He just plays the right way. Makes the simple play. He will go out of his way to ask you how you want to get involved in the game, like what play you want to run. Just little things like that. I feel like we've built a really good chemistry together on and off the court. We golfed together once. Just talking — and we talk a lot about basketball in those times. So it's fun because he's so talented but at the same time, so unselfish that it just gives a good energy to everybody on the team."

D'Angelo Russell shares the exact sentiment of Reaves

"I don't know if you can name anything Austin Reaves can't really do," Russell said. "On the offensive end, he dominates the game and myself I try to do the same. So, when you got us next to those two guys (AD, Bron) out there, the game is super simple."
