Despite the absence of four starting players, including Luka Doncic and LeBron James, for the Los Angeles Lakers in their Friday night game against the Denver Nuggets, Austin Reaves managed to stand out impressively on the basketball court.

During just the first half, Reaves racked up an impressive 22 points, which included a crucial three-pointer just before halftime. Additionally, he provided 10 assists. This remarkable performance made him only the second Lakers player since detailed game records began to achieve such stats in a single half, joining the legendary Kobe Bryant in this exclusive achievement.

Reaves’ performance places him in elite company, underscoring his significant impact on the game.

The match against the Nuggets was tightly contested, concluding in a dramatic finish as Denver clinched the victory in the final moments with a three-pointer from Jamal Murray and a dunk from Russell Westbrook.

By the end of the game, Reaves had secured a double-double with a total of 37 points, eight rebounds, and 13 assists. This marked the 20th double-double of his career and his ninth of the season, highlighting his consistent contribution to the team throughout the year.
