Austin Reaves gets last laugh with savage reaction to fan after drilling dagger against Pistons

Austin Reaves waved and pointed at a courtside heckler after sinking a late 3-pointer to seal the Los Angeles Lakers' 121-116 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. The gesture capped an ongoing verbal back-and-forth between Reaves and the fan that began early in the game and included a confrontation before halftime.

Reaves scored a season-high 43 points to lead Los Angeles, stepping up with teammate Luka Dončić sidelined due to back tightness. The victory improved the Lakers to a 9-2 record on the season to remain atop the Western Conference ahead of their road game against the Atlanta Hawks.
