Reaves scored a career-high 38 points in the game, dragging the Los Angeles Lakers over the line to go 22-17, which has them sixth in the Western Conference.
The performance came against a Nets team that had D'Angelo Russell playing in it, having been traded from the Lakers earlier in the season after Reaves had beaten him to the spot in the Los Angeles team.
“He라이브 바카라 in his process and he라이브 바카라 taking the opportunity and he라이브 바카라 running with it,” said James on Reaves' performance.
“Literally running with it. And I love every moment that he라이브 바카라 given the opportunity to go out and showcase his talent with the best players in the world and he라이브 바카라 showing every night that he belongs. It라이브 바카라 a beautiful thing to see.”
Russell himself had the chance to win the game for the Nets, following a run of Reaves misses in the final two minutes, but he was not able to convert his three-point attempt.
Despite Reaves' performance, the game itself was a difficult one for the Lakers who had just come off a 59-point defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Coach바카라 웹사이트JJ Redick was unhappy with how things went, especially from a defensive point of view. When asked about the performance, he said: "We weren't very good tonight."
James and Reaves scored 25 of their team's 30 points inside the fourth quarter, with the latter suggesting that they just did what had to be done in the circumstances.
“JJ wasn’t happy on the sideline. I’m sure y’all could guess because we weren’t playing well, so it was warranted,” Reaves said.
“So, me and Bron had a conversation at center court:바카라 웹사이트‘Just figure out a way to win the game.’ We know it hasn’t been pretty.
"We know we’ve made a lot of mistakes, but a win in the win column doesn’t matter if it라이브 바카라 [by] one or 60. It라이브 바카라 a win. And that라이브 바카라 all that matters.”
