The Los Angeles Lakers lost 108-90 to the Thunder in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series, with Austin Reaves failing to impress in the game. The Lakers desperately needed him to score more in this game, but he failed to impress them. Despite a strong performance, Reaves finished with only eight points and a poor field goal percentage. This was the Lakers' best chance to steal a game against the Thunder, as they were playing against the top-rated defense and were already without Luka Doncic and Jalen Williams due to injuries. Reaves, who averaged a career-high 23.3 points on 49 percent shooting this season, is a rising star and is eligible for a contract worth a quarter of a billion dollars with the Lakers this summer.
