After the game, LeBron James told Dave McMenamin, “LeBron and Steph,” regarding the ‘good stuff’ going on in the league. Austin Reaves, who wasn’t in front of the camera, praised his response right away in a sarcastic manner. Reaves said, “Great f***ing answer.” Since players like, Curry and James can still draw sizable crowds and generate excitement for games, the league still greatly depends on them.

Despite Lebron James’ remarks, Austin Reaves opens up on game-winning basket against Warriors

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 115-113 on Christmas Day, led by a layup and baseline drive by Austin Reaves. However, following the game, Reaves disclosed that LeBron James was called for the play. Ignoring the call, Reaves drove to the hoop alone, sealing the victory after seeing an opportunity to win the game.

Man, I’mma be honest with y’all. That last play was not for me. It was for Bron. But I got the opportunity to go win us a game. That’s what ended up happening. That’s a big win for the team. Huge win. It’s Christmas Day.

Austin Reaves told the media after the game

Reaves’ decision to seize the ball to himself while the play was called for James was undoubtedly audacious. It is dangerous for a player to disregard the head coach’s play call after a fierce back-and-forth game and risk losing the game. Reaves would have received harsh criticism for this if he hadn’t made the winning basket.
