Lakers News: Austin Reaves Feels He Wasn't Good Enough Against Nuggets & Will Use It As Offseason Motivation

Austin Reaves had an extremely difficult job in the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. In addition to being relied on as one of the team's creators, Reaves was also tasked with being the primary defender on Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray. To his credit, Reaves did a more than admirable job as Murray shot just 40% from the field and 29.6% from deep in the series. It didn't matter in the end, however, as despite Reaves' best efforts, Murray hit a number of clutch shots, including the game-winner that ended the series in five games.
