After 4

Devin Booker 33 points 11-16 shooting
Austin Reaves 25 points 6-10 shooting


Reaves had 11 assists and Booker had 5. So really Reaves was responsible for 47 while Booker was responsible for 43. Reaves 2 turnovers to Booker's 7

Nah Kobe would have pulled up a guaranteed middy bucket instead of throwing that lob to Vando

Really happy we got Vando locked up for next season at 4 million. Don’t gotta worry about his extension this summer unlike DLO, AR, and Rui

Great much needed win.

Embarrassing if we didn’t pull this one out with No KD, DA.

Weird playing this suns team without Mikal Bridges who always turns into 2006 Kobe

LETSGOLAKERS keep that momentum 💜💛

YES! Big game by Vando keeping Booker at bay and forcing turnovers. Big piece of this win goes to him. So glad we've got him next season too.

We can only afford 4 more losses if we want to make the play-in. Those two Jazz games in particular are huge.

When and why did Austin Christoper Reaves flip off either the trainer or someone behind him?

BTW we must think of a legit nickname for him before he gets named Riverboat Reaves

I watched this game on tape delay - I was losing my mind in that stretch where Ham had both Vando and Troy Brown Jr on the bench and Booker was going off on Schroeder. MY LORD what a moron, that type of stuff will cost us if we make the playoffs. Vando had 4 fouls so you could maybe defend that, but to put small guards on Booker is suicide.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE - great performance from our big three of Reaves, AD, D-Lo. AD was dominating for a stretch there. Vando also was awesome on D, Booker couldn't really do much against him at all.

Big time win, needed it bad

I prefer the lakers to be an average or below-average 3pt shooting team if they can be one of the leaders in free throw attempts, this is how they win a chip.
It relieves the pressure of making 3's, helps stops runs by the other team, and most importantly allows them to set up the defense.

Gutsy move by Ham starting Reaves tonight... I think he gave Beasley enough chances to redeem himself. But he was just too inconsistent. I think tonight also showed that they are prioritizing Reaves. They most likely decided that they will bring Reaves back at all cost now.

I expect Ham to tighten up the rotation now and Ham will start giving heavy minutes to people who deserves it. I expect it will most likely be playoffs rotation from now on.

46 free throws tonight is crazy. Don't want to rely on that.
