The Oklahoma City Thunder dismissed the Los Angeles Lakers 108-90 at Paycom Center on Tuesday, and while the scoreline was one problem, Austin Reaves' performance became a separate conversation entirely.
With Luka Doncic still sidelined by a hamstring injury, Reaves was supposed to be the team's second scoring option. He finished with eight points on 3-of-16 shooting, went 0-for-5 from three, and committed four turnovers across 36 minutes. LeBron James gave the Lakers everything he had, scoring 27 points on 12-of-17 from the field.
Rui Hachimura added 18. Chet Holmgren ran things on the other end with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Emmanuel Acho, co-host of the Speakeasy show, wasted no time.
"Austin Reaves should be ashamed of himself. The Lakers CANNOT win with Austin Reaves scoring eight points. It's just not gonna happen," he said on air after the game.
