I don’t have much analysis I want to add to this at the moment, I just think it’s preposterous how good Austin Reaves has gotten. We’ve had great undrafted players before, but they’re usually defender/role player types. Scorers like this just don’t get passed on 60 times.— Sam Quinn (@SamQuinnCBS) April 4, 2025

Yes, Lakers LOST this game vs. Warriors. BUT looking over the box score…Austin Reaves hits 9 3-POINTERS! (9-16 3Pt)Dude is RIDICULOUS!!! Austin's stats: 31 pts (10-20 FG), 6 rebs, 3 asts, stl Not saying this is anything INSANE, but he continues to be a stud— Ryan Ward (@RyanWardLA) April 4, 2025

For the Lakers to lose it took :1. Pod to have a career game2. Luka & Hayes to drop a stinker3. Zero bench production after DFS and Gabe helped last game which was odd4. And most obvious was the refs, they were clearly on the Warriors side calling everything, we couldn't…— LakeShow Highlights (@LSH_lakeshow) April 4, 2025

The Nuggets, playing without their starters and Peyton Watson, lose 113-106 at home to the Spurs to drop to 47-30 and the No. 4 seed. The Lakers (46-29) jump up to No. 3. If the Lakers win out — or drop another game but still win the Pacific division — they’ll be ahead of Denver.— Jovan Buha (@jovanbuha) April 3, 2025
