Luka Dončić took the night off on Sunday as he's dealing with two injuries so Austin Reaves stepped up for the Lakers and scored a career-high 51 points in Los Angeles' 127-120 win over the Sacramento Kings. Reaves also had 11 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and made an impressive 21-of-22 free throws, but the most surprising thing about the game is what inspired his performance.
In a postgame interview Reaves revealed that his day began with a text to Dončić about a Dak Prescott interception. The two then went back and forth before his teammate told him he wanted him to score 60 against the Kings.
