As NBA teams get into gear this preseason, Monday’s Lakers-Nets game featured an exciting shootout between two rising, young guards who already appear to be in midseason form.
Lakers guard Austin Reaves and Nets guard Cam Thomas put on a show for the fans in Brooklyn as L.A. led, 82–79, midway through the third quarter. A Thomas three-pointer would even the score, 82-82, which Reaves and the Lakers quickly responded to.
After bringing the ball up the floor, Reaves worked his way into a three of his own, only for Thomas to come down and drill another three.
