The same can be said after a lengthy road swing, which the Lakers were coming off of after a two-week “Grammy” trip.Luke Kennard Despite all of the factors, the Lakers successfully pulled off a 14-point comeback behind a stellar second half from Austin Reaves, who led the Lakers with 35 points and six rebounds off the bench in just his second game back from his left calf injury. LeBron James had a 17 point-10 assist double-double, having strong late moments to make up for his turnover struggles, with James scoring 10 points in the fourth. James had eight of the Lakers’ 22 giveaways, including a turnover on a late inbounds play.Maxi Kleber, who’s been in the Lakers’ rotation just once over the last month, provided game-changing energy. Even though it didn’t show up with traditional box score stats, Kleber had a game-best plus-23 individual plus/minus.The positive: Reaves looked like his pre-injury self in just his second game back from a calf injury that sidelined him for nearly six weeks. The clear negative was Doncic’s injury, with there being uncertanity about his status moving forward beyond Thursday. But another positive was the Lakers moving to 31-19 on the season, maintaining a pace to win 50 games in the 50th game of the season. When Rui Hachimura scored seven straight points for the Lakers late in the third quarter to cut the team’s deficit to two entering the fourth.

Reaves scored 21 points in the second half, including key buckets early in the fourth to give the Lakers their first lead.That’s how many poinst the Lakers got from their bench, which averages a league-worst 27.3 points. Reaves was responsible for the scoring punch from the reserves, but he wasn’t alone, with each bench player having strong moments. 2026 Olympics may have a second 'penis-gate' -- one watchdog is already on the lookoutFormer NFL star's brother dead at 42 after brain cancer battleThe same can be said after a lengthy road swing, which the Lakers were coming off of after a two-week “Grammy” trip.
