Lakers star Austin Reaves perfectly sums up LA’s win vs. Pistons without Luka Doncic

Austin Reaves scored a season-high 43 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 121-116 victory against the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday. With Luka Doncic sidelined due to low back tightness, Reaves praised the Lakers' composure and ability to weather the storm after Detroit cut a 26-point deficit down to three.

Reaves shot 14-of-27 from the field and converted all 11 of his free throws, adding five rebounds and four assists. Collin Sexton and Ziaire Williams added 17 points each, and Walker Kessler recorded 12 points and 16 rebounds to improve the Lakers' record to 10-2. Detroit was led by Daniss Jenkins with 31 points.
