The Lakers picked up a crucial win over the Magic on Sunday night, with Austin Reaves surprisingly leading the charge for Los Angeles. With LeBron James still on the mend, the 38-year-old expressed his excitement for his teammate on Twitter after his huge night.
James, who missed his 11th consecutive game with a foot injury, called Reaves a "BAD MUTHA" and tweeted a slew of emojis at the Lakers' 24-year-old after his career night.
Reaves, who came off the bench, led all scorers with a career-high 35 points. He shot 9-of-14 from the field and made 16-of-18 free throw attempts on the night, while adding six rebounds and six assists. He did all that in just 30 minutes, providing more than a spark for the team when called upon.
