Austin Reaves’ Came Up CLUTCH In Minnesota 🥶 | October 29, 2025

Austin Reaves delivered a clutch game-winning jumper from the middle of the paint to lift the Los Angeles Lakers past the Minnesota Timberwolves, 116–115. The Timberwolves had erased a 20-point deficit to take a 115–114 lead with one possession remaining, but Reaves’ heroics sealed the win for L.A.

Reaves finished with 28 points and a career-high-tying 16 assists, continuing his scorching start to the season. Jake LaRavia added 27 points, 8 rebounds, and hit 5-of-6 from three-point range, while Rui Hachimura and Deandre Ayton each chipped in 17 points, with Ayton also grabbing 10 boards.
Minnesota was led by Julius Randle, who poured in 33 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists while shooting 4-of-7 from deep. Jaden McDaniels added 30 points and 7 rebounds in a strong supporting effort.

Reaves now has 171 points through five games, averaging 34.2 PPG. He becomes the first Laker since Kobe Bryant in 2005 to open a season with five straight games of at least 25 points.
He also joins Jerry West as the only players in franchise history to record five consecutive games of 25+ points and 5+ assists to start a season—West accomplished the feat in 1970–71.
Additionally, Reaves joins Magic Johnson (44x), Jerry West (9x), LeBron James (4x), and Nick Van Exel (2x) as the only Lakers with multiple games of 25+ points and 15+ assists.

With the win, the Lakers improve to 3–2, while the Timberwolves fall to 2–3.
