## Summary

Austin Reaves scored a season-high 43 points as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Detroit Pistons 121-116. One of his most memorable baskets was a 27-foot shot that bounced off the top of the backboard and went in, helping the Lakers extend their lead after they had been 26 points behind.

Reaves called the shot terrible and lucky, saying it reminded him of the sort of attempt Luka Dončić might take. He scored 10 points in just over two minutes during a personal 7-0 run, reaching 32 points with the unusual three-pointer; he also made a fadeaway from behind the backboard. Dončić, averaging 40.1 points per game, missed the match with back tightness.
