LAKERS GUARD Austin Reaves goes to the basket on a near triple-double night. Said coach JJ Redick, "These moments are incredible for him."

Austin Reaves hit a three. He ripped the ball from Dario Saric's hands. He scored on a breakaway layup. All in 20 seconds.

On a night without Luka Doncic, the Lakers needed Reaves to do it all Sunday, and the guard responded emphatically as he delivered a career-high 51 points with 11 rebounds and nine assists to carry the Lakers to a 127-120 win over the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center.

When the ball fell into Reaves' hands for his final rebound as the game ended, Rui Hachimura wrapped Reaves in a bear hug and playfully punched his stomach. Jake LaRavia covered Reaves' head with a towel.

In the locker room, they dumped water all over him. It was freezing. Reaves was happy.

"This is a small-town kid from Arkansas who went undrafted who last year averaged a 20-ball in the NBA and just had a 50-ball," coach JJ Redick said. "These moments are incredible for him. I think his teammates see that. I know as a coaching staff we see that he just lives in the moment and he's ready for every single moment that comes."

Reaves surpassed his previous career high of 45 points, set against Indiana on Feb. 8. It was also the last time LeBron James and Doncic both missed a game for the Lakers.
