Lakers' Austin Reaves: Posts career-high 35 points in win

Reaves registered 35 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 16-18 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 111-105 victory over the Magic.

Reaves was brilliant off the bench, scoring 13 points in the fourth quarter while piling up trips to the foul line. He broke his career record with 18 free-throw attempts, converting those opportunities at a healthy clip. The second-year pro has carved a significant role this season, although his minutes appeared to be at risk with the arrivals of D'Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley at the trade deadline. While Russell has been installed as the team's starting point guard, Reaves has consistently outplayed Beasley since his arrival, though head coach Darvin Ham seems satisfied with Reaves' current sixth-man role. Even if Reaves keeps coming off the bench, he could continue to see ample playing time due to his ability to draw fouls and convert at a respectable rate from downtown.
