Luka & Austin Reaves GO OFF | Lakers-Mavs Highlights + Interview | NBA on Prime

Michael Grady, Candace Parker, Dwayne Wade, Ally Clifton, Austin Reeves spot. Reeves made him pay. Three nothing Lakers to LBJ. And right here, DW this looked real in uncomfortableness, right? And Jason Kid says something that most people do not do. Take That’s all I got to say. I knew we were going to get one of those shoes. Candace, I knew we were going to get one of those in. I didn’t know it was going to be the first quarter. We hit two threes. Let me get out the way now. Way of ways. There’s Dantics from downtown as Lakers head coach. And right here, Dallas not conceding, continuing to bring the double. You have to make him either retreat dribble. This is not the type of double that’s going to give Luc James Vincent extra pass this time. Donic pump. He’ll penetrate on flag to the rim. Lays it up and through. Leaves the corner and then again you talk about pace. This is slow motion at the Lakers to get the ball out of the playmaking of LeBron and Loopa. Donic. Couple of head fakes. Throws the trifecta. Now he’s in double figures with Ted. Donic doing Donic things. Couple of head fakes, tsun all over him. Doesn’t matter. 28 22. A perfect lineup right here for LeBron and obviously AR to be featured in. They have three guys that can spread the floor, but also too they have a big that can screen and roll to the basket. So, perfect lineup for those guys. Re from downtown. Reover down the lane. Put it up and through. AR on that side and then AR I love when he calls his own number and can knock down the three. I mean at his size to be able to do that he’s in Washington have been impressive as Hayes gets the the lob dump. Here’s a kick out. Hachimura extra pass. Lorabia on the drive tosses it out to Reeds. Reeds penetrating pump step through and the finish. Dantage on the drive. Pump puts it up and through. And there’s levels to this D. How you like those boggles he’s playing? You like that look for him? Oh, Rich. He comes back and hit another tough shot over Aiden right after him. Dodges. No. Bounces through. Breeze patience will fire from D and drill it. Yes, I’m loving the fact they’re moving the ball. Lakers going zone on that possession again. Austin Re calling his number. This is a shootout right now. Lakers 82, Mavericks 77. Speaking of 77 pregame is improving as the season progresses. Lakers have already wrapped up the group and nearly a tie up there. Look at this right here. There’s some boxing on rebounding the basketball. I didn’t understand it at first cuz who thinks a rebound is going to win everything for you. So if you don’t finish the possession, you have no chance. Donic, they’re going to pick and roll again. Well, he’s late because they’re screening the screener. Oh, tough step back and hit it anyway. Now with 30. James almost got a steal. Thompson too strong. Pass up ahead. James made the catch. What a connection. That’s the Luca we love. They just got to knock him down. Reach mode. Got the roll. Count it and put him on the line. NBA. I mean, what I love about him this year, he’s like a moving target this season. He’s not just doing one thing. He’s on all sides of the floor. He’s literally giving you the entire bag work. This the sixth time he’s been able to play with Anthony Davis. Reed going dancing with Thompson behind the back downhill down the window for two. Jump shots. He needs to establish himself in the paint. But right here, he’s like dancing, dancing, dancing. Look at AR right here. Klay Thompson. Yeah. Another guy we got to give credit is Austin Reeves, who is joining us now. Time for best seat in the house presented by Wayfair. Yeah, Austin, so happy you’re here with us. 38 point performance from you. What led to offensive success in this one? I think it’s just playing the game the right way. Uh trusting the teammates and then, you know, trusting our scheme. Obviously, we got, you know, two of the greatest passers to ever play the game um on our side, so they demand a lot of attention and then just making shots. Hey Ar, first of all, Boomer Sooner. Yes, sir. Get that out of the way right now. Um, you you’ve been phenomenal this season. Obviously, Luca has been phenomenal this season, but talk about the luxury of adding a all-time great back into this offense uh and figuring out how to how to play with him. Now, talk about just what you guys are looking at and how he’s he’s taken on that uh that challenge. Yeah, he just brings a different dynamic to the team. uh obviously he’s a freak train in uh transition can get a lot of transition points and then just the IQ that he brings to the table. Um you know you know exactly what the other team’s going to run every possession. You know where you need to be what uh when you need to be there and then like I said he’s one of the greatest passers. Plays the game the right way. So it’s it’s very nice to have him back. Austin Steve Nash here. Just uh wanted to check in on how you guys approach the cup. Like does it feel like this thing is growing? This competition is becoming more and more important across the league. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think if you ask around the league, um the the thing that, you know, motivates everybody the most is is winning a little bit of extra money, but at the same time, it’s it’s um you know, early advantage to, you know, lock into, you know, a scouting report. Um not that you don’t do that on an everyday basis, but you know, these games hold a little more uh weight. You want to, you know, win for everybody in the organization. So, yeah, it’s been really fun. Hey, Austin, Yonis Ham here. Um, once again, as an undrafted guy, just a huge fan of everything you’re doing, but can you just talk about the growth of being an undrafted guy coming in having to make it, then you want to get a position, then you want to just be a role player and get minutes. Now you’re thrusting into a star role. Just talk about that evolution and how your confidence has grown in every step that you’ve taken. Yeah, it’s been crazy. Uh, like you said, you know, that’s exactly how it went. I wanted to get a rotation. Uh, I wanted to get a spot on the team. I was on a two-way for, you know, a month or so. Then once I got that spot, it was all about how can I, you know, help this team be successful? How can I get on the court, figured that out, and then just continued to grow from there. I mean, all my coaches that I’ve had in the past have put me in a good position to, you know, be successful. Then I’ve had, you know, Braun, AD, and then now Luca, you know, as running mates, it’s been u really fun, a dream of mine. It’s still, like I said the other night, it’s it’s crazy that, you know, people throw my name in there with Bron and Luca. Um, you know, it’s just really fun to me. I just love basketball and and love to play the right way. Congrats, Austin. Great game. Uh, talk to me a little about Aiden. I think he’s been looking great. He’s been doing all the things. Uh, he’s been rolling, he’s been finishing, he’s been factor defensively. What, uh, what do you guys see from him? Uh, he’s just been a monster. Um, he holds himself to a high standard. You know, when he doesn’t have a good game, he’s the first person to, you know, in the locker room to to raise his hand and say he’s got to be better. Uh, and that’s what we need, you know, people to hold theirel accountable to go out there and play hard every single night. And that’s what he does. He does the right things. uh brings, you know, light to the team and we’re very uh happy to have him. Austin, you and Luca with 30 plus points in the same game for the second time this season. What’s really been the key to finding offensive success together? I see that big smile on your face. Yeah, I mean, uh I usually don’t give Luca too many compliments, but uh he’s one of, you know, the best players in the league. Uh has been since he came into the league. He makes the game so easy, draws so much attention that, you know, every night, you know, at some point they’re going to throw a blitz at him. Uh so then you play advantage basketball and at that point, uh you have me and Bronn and a lot of smart players behind that to, you know, make the right read and you know, that’s what we’ve continued to do. And um yeah, that’s that’s the one compliment I’ll give him. Leave it at that. AR, talk about uh just changing the way you play. You know, you’re now a dunker, known as that from now on. Uh, is that a conscious effort this offseason? You just just dunking all offseason? What happened? No, no, no, no, no. Uh, me and Luca, um, we we’re on a race. He he claims that he has two dunks, but that first dunk was not a dunk. I need people to side with me on that. So, right now I’m at two, he’s at one. Um, but you know that I could end it too for the season. I don’t really like jumping that much. Amazing dunker. 38 point performance. Congratulations, Austin. Congrats, Austin.
