After the game on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers second-year guard Austin Reaves responded to potential criticism regarding the team needing overtime to get past a Jazz team that ranks No. 12 in the Western Conference, via Spectrum SportsNet:
“It was a dog fight from the get-go. They’re a super talented team and they play freely. It’s the NBA, you’ve got a lot of talent, everybody can do multiple things and they’ve got guys that are super talented. They made it really tough for us, obviously. You want to win every game by 30, but it’s not going to work like that.”
