Reaves explodes for 35 points in 25 minutes, dominates despite calf injury & minutes restriction

Austin Reaves delivered a stellar performance for the Lakers, scoring 35 points (12-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT) with five rebounds and two assists in just 25 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 win over the 76ers. This marked his second game back from a strained right calf, and he played under a minutes restriction, yet still managed to lead the team in scoring. He took control late, netting 13 points in the fourth quarter, and his back-to-back three-pointers gave the Lakers a lead they never lost. Coach Redick joked about keeping him on a 25-minute limit if he continues to score 35.
