LOS ANGELES (AP) — The first five players to put up at least 45 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in one game for the Lakers are now a club of six. Austin Reaves joined the ranks Saturday night, becoming the latest Laker to achieve the feat in a 125-116 win over the Indiana Pacers. 'It looks weird when you see my name up there,' Reaves said with a smile. It’s getting less weird with each achievement by Reaves, who joined the Lakers undrafted out of Oklahoma 3 1/2 years ago.
'I'm just trying to keep getting better,' he said. 'I'm not really focused on the stats. I just want to win.' Reaves finished the game with 46 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. His performance helped the Lakers overcome a 17-point deficit in the third quarter and secure a crucial victory
