In the NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Kings 127-120 away from home.

Reeves' performance in this campaign was explosive, making 11 of 20 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 21 of 22 free throws, scoring a career-high 51 points, plus 11 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.

After Reeves had a career night, reporter Sam Quinn talked about the strongest version of the Lakers.

"I think the strongest version of the Lakers is when Reeves becomes the team's second scorer and truly has the ability to compete for the All-Stars; while LeBron reduces his scoring average to 18-20 points per game while focusing more on defense." Sam Quinn said.
