The Lakers didn’t make things easy for themselves against the Wolves. They led by 20 points in this game, but a fourth-quarter collapse had them down by one with 10.2 seconds to go.

A loss would’ve been particularly devastating since both Austin Reaves and Jake LaRavia were having incredible games. However, Reaves saved the day, scoring on the Lakers’ final possession to win 116-115.

Somehow, despite LeBron James being out and Luka Dončić missing all but one game, the Lakers find themselves 3-2 on the season.

So, let’s dive into the win. As always, grades are based on expectations for each player. A “B” grade represents the average performance for that player.
