Lakers' Austin Reaves: Dishes nine dimes in Game 3 loss
Austin Reaves registered 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine assists and three rebounds over 39 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.Reaves paced the Los Angeles Lakers' offense in the first half with 12 points and eight assists, though he was unable to maintain that level of production in the second.
