Austin Reaves

Just in case the memo wasn’t sent after his brilliant 2023 postseason debut, Austin Reaves provided yet another reminder of what he does in big-time moments. Clasping itself to a one-point lead with just 15 seconds remaining in the Play-In Tournament Quarterfinals, Reaves left the game’s fate to his right shoulder, freeing himself with a subtle crossover before draining the game-clinching 3-pointer. Flexing his muscles after the clutch bucket, the Los Angeles Lakers guard had plenty to celebrate, dropping in 20 points, six rebounds, and three 3-pointers in the advancing win over the Phoenix Suns on December 5, 2023.
