Doncic, Reaves deliver in clutch to lift the Lakers
-
AUSTIN REAVES drives in for his tying shot in a play "that's one in a 100," Denver coach David Adelman said.

“I thought if I threw it fast enough, that Jokic wouldn’t have the time to get his hands up to grab the ball,” Reaves said.
Reaves chucked up a line drive that ricocheted off the front of the rim and toward his left. Deandre Ayton screened Jokic away from the rebound, Reaves chased it down, turned, drove baseline and tossed up a onelegged floater that went in. The game went to overtime after Denver guard Jamal Murray’s half-court prayer bounced off the backboard at the buzzer.
“That execution was perfection,” said Doncic, who clenched both fists when Reaves’ shot dropped softly through the net.
No one practices missed free throws, said LeBron James, who had 17 points, five assists and one clutch full-extension dive to save a loose ball in the fourth quarter. The unfamiliarity with the play makes it that much harder to execute.
