Austin Reaves' buzzer-beating 3 saves Lakers in OT thriller vs. Mavericks


Lakers guard Austin Reaves, center, celebrates with teammates after the Lakers’ 107-104 overtime victory against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Reaves hit the winning shot on a three-pointer with less than a second remaining.

DALLAS-- LeBron James' deep 3 missed so severely it could've fractured the glass backboard-- the only thing maintaining the shot from rocketing right into the Mavericks' crowd. Anthony Davis' corner 3 cruised over the edge, failing to even forage the iron.
And Wayne Ellington's wide-open look from over the break missed everything, as poor of a miss that an open high quality shooter might imagine.

But the clock kept ticking enough time for redemption-- for the group's dreadful late-game shooting to be undone with one wonderful stroke from the deep left corner.

Initially it was Ellington compensating his misses, then it was Westbrook from the very same edge and lastly, it was rookie Austin Reaves.

Reaves hit a wild 3 with simply fractions of a second left to lead the Lakers to a 107-104 win in overtime. It's simply the second time this season the Lakers have actually won three straight.

Reaves hit 5 3s off the Lakers bench, the team missing 3 gamers because of the NBA's COVID-19 methods. James led the Lakers with 24, Westbrook had 23 and Davis scored 20 in the win.
